Great idea, Shirley. I love the instant pot … you can simply do the broth in the instant pot. I’d say aim for around 25 minutes at high pressure. Once it’s done, let it sit for around 10 minutes before venting. Prepare your bowls with the other ingredients and pour in the broth when ready.

Does anyone know how to change this recipe, not the ingredient, to use in the Instant Pot? Thanks.

Yes, all beef is grass fed! Cattle can only live a few weeks on the grain diet!

Sadly, they closed recently and I was hoping to find a good recipe to make it myself. Thank you so much for this recipe and all you are doing to help many be faithful to take the best care of their body.

I had a tooth extraction, so needed soft food. I had been eating sauteed zucchini and onions in coconut oil with salsa, so used my hand blender to blend it into a puree. Then I added some multi collagen, tumeric, garlic, black pepper, simmered and blended again. (everything was “to taste”). This was such a comforting soup! I continued to make it through zucchini season (even with the ones that got a bit big) and froze it for winter lunches.
The collagen added some protein, the parsley is good for the liver, the tumeric and black pepper is good for inflammation, and it just tasted yummy. You could easily add other things you might have in the garden as well (I added a few small carrots once–couldn’t even tell). Thought maybe someone else might enjoy.

With all the cold ingredients the broth would not cook the meat and sprouts sufficiently to make them safe to eat??

Vegetarian bone broth doesn’t make sense since vegetables don’t have bones, lol. But if you want to make a vegetable broth, I would just use typical stock veggies. You can always google homemade vegetable broth as well

I have made this vegetarian for years, and pescatarian. I keep a freezer bag and fill it with stock items like bell pepper stems, mushroom stems, etc. to water I add some veg bouillon and these stock items. For protein, a super firm tofu is good.

HI CORY. COCONUT AMINOS ARE A COPY OF BRAGGS AMINOS, UT WITHOUT THE SOY, PLUS IT’S A THINNER LIQUID. AN D YES IT”S MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN BRAGGS AMINOS, ABOUT TWICE THE PRICE (OR MORE SOMETIMES). FOR THOSE OF US ON A BUDGET BRAGGS IS THE CHOICE (UNLESS YOU’RE ALLERGIC TO SOY).

Thank you, Healthy RN for clarifying the differences in beef production in the US. I’ve spent most of my life in both Calif. and Texas, the 2 top beef producing states. Traditional ranchers will try all sorts of things to get higher prices for their beef. Besides looking for GRASS FED and GRASS FINISHED, it also helps if the animals have been PASTURE RAISED, as opposed to being locked up in feed yards or barns for their entire lives. Many ethical Organic Ranchers will also have information on their labels that indicate no hormones or anti-biotics. Believe it or not, organic, pasture raised beef are one of the naturally healthiest meat sources there is. Cattle, in their natural state, in their natural environment are very, very healthy animals. You can google “organic beef” and you can find organic ranchers in several states, many of whom will ship meat to your door. You might even find one in your area!

So many retailers sell “grass fed beef” knowing that most people don’t realize the animals are given GMO feed with corn before slaughter in order to sweeten up the meat and tenderize it. So sure, it’s grass fed, but not grass finished.
Make sure you buy beef that specifies it is also grass finished…. no grain ever. It’s out there and if you can’t find it from a local farmer there are websites that will ship it frozen to you.
The importance of this cannot be over stressed, as the nutrients in the grass finished meat is far better than the nutrients in the conventional beef.
Many thanks to Dr Axe for all the recipes and for caring about those of us out here who BELIEVE in alternative clean eating and alternative medicine.

I am a bad Viet cook). Absolutely beautiful – tender with clean taste. Thought it would cost an arm and a leg, but this butcher in our area didn’t overcharge either , only couple of dollars than the ordinary beef. He should be highly praised for promoting it. And thanks to you too for all these health advices and recipes that I have been following. Most of my friends are now on to your site . We are blessed with such wonderful advocates. xx
