In about 50 minutes the Instant Pot will beep and you can vent the steam (cooking spout is moved to the right, steam will escape on its own). Do not open Instant Pot until there is no more steam escaping the spout. Remove the cheese cloth with the chicken bones, throw away. Skim off the fat, there will be very little. Remove half, or more of the vegetables, set aside. Take your immersion blender and blend all the remaining vegetables (If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use your food processor or blender or leave in all the vegetables). The blending in of the vegetables gives your broth a thickness and more flavor. Add back the cooked vegetables that you set aside. Note: If your crowd is not a fan of veggies, puree all the vegetables. They will like the full flavored soup “without” vegetables.
