Pressure Cooker Chicken Stock + PUR® Giveaway!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of PUR®. The opinions and text are all mine.

Since it’s comfort food season, my new pressure cooker has been working overtime. Soups, roasted meats…even hard boiled eggs. I love that I can cook items quickly and have them taste like they’ve been slow-cooking all day long.

We have super hard city water and really don’t prefer to drink water straight from the tap. Bottled water can get expensive, so we chose a for our faucet. It runs around $35, but the filter lasts 3 months…saves so much on bottled water! Aside from drinking water (don’t forget coffee and tea!), we also use it for recipes and even ice for our cocktails. There’s nothing worse than funky tasting ice!

Did you know that even after boiling, water can still contain lead? Sometimes tap water can travel miles to get to your pipes, potentially filling your water with all sorts of contaminates. No thank you! Even when I’m cooking, I use filtered water to be on the safe side.

PUR is a best-selling brand for a reason: it reduces over 70 contaminants, including 99% of lead, 96% of mercury and 92% of certain pesticides. I love the faucet attachment so I don’t even have to worry about filling up the pitcher all day…it’s always ready for us!

This pressure cooker stock is perfect to make as a base for any of your favorite soups, especially Homestyle Chicken Noodle. There’s something about homemade stock that makes the soup so much better…plus you can control the amount of salt in it! No need to peel the carrots, garlic or onions, you discard them after cooking anyway. Just make sure they’re washed beforehand with PUR filtered water to remove any dirt or sediments.

Using bones from a cooked chicken (we save ours from rotisserie chickens in the freezer to make stock), this makes about 4 quarts. Using the pressure cooker saves time, but this recipe can also be made in a slow-cooker using both LOW (8 hours) or HIGH (4 hours) heat. Whatever works best!

After cooking, you can store this in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 6 months. I freeze the cooled stock in mason jars, just be sure to leave enough space at the top of the container (about 2 inches) for the liquid to expand.
