Carrageenan Free Instant Pot Bone Broth

Rich, deeply savory, and built entirely from whole ingredients you can see and name, this bone broth is the kind of thing that makes you feel genuinely good about what you're putting in your body. Many store-bought broths and cartons sneak in carrageenan as a stabilizer or thickener, which can be a real problem for anyone trying to avoid that additive — making homemade the obvious answer. Here, the gelatin and body come naturally from slow-pressure-cooked beef bones, so there's nothing artificial doing the heavy lifting. Roasting the bones first at high heat builds a deep, caramelized flavor base before they ever hit the pot, and the apple cider vinegar helps draw out minerals and collagen from the bones during the long cook. Aromatics like garlic, onion, celery, carrots, and bay leaves round everything out into something that tastes like it simmered on a stovetop all day. The Instant Pot cuts that time down dramatically while still delivering a broth that gels beautifully once chilled — a sign of serious collagen content. Sip it straight from a mug, use it as a base for soups and stews, or freeze it in portions so you always have a clean, additive-free option on hand.
