And, just like that, it’s soup season. The beauty of soup? You can really make a soup out of anything you have on hand. It’s a great way to clean out your refrigerator or pantry and to get more veggies into your kids. And it can be made ahead of time, or in your Instant Pot, which means less weekday stress over what’s for dinner! The Instant Pot was such a game changer for me and it will be for you too!  This recipe  for Instant Pot Beef Barley Soup uses simple ingredients and an easy preparation.

I get all of my meat from  Butcher Box Meat Delivery Box service and I absolutely LOVE it! Butcher Box delivers 100% grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, humanely raised pork, and wild-caught seafood directly to your door. Choose from four different curated boxes or completely customize your own box based on your and your family’s tastes. Plus you get a FREE Meat Bundle with your first order!
