Nutritional Fall Broth

Nutritional Fall Broth: 

I have been using a pressure cooker to make my bone broth this year and it is amazing! Saves time, and gas/ electricity. I have also been adding nutritional herbs to cook with the bones and veggies. I have mostly used nervines and immune booster, but anything would work. It doesn't affect the taste much, but adds more complexity.
