Recipe: Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Barley Soup Recipes
Servings: 6-8
Ingredients:
* 1 lb beef stew meat (such as chuck or round)
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 onion, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
* 2 stalks celery, chopped
* 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
* 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
* 4 cups beef broth
* 1 cup pearl barley
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
* Salt and pepper, to taste
* Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
1. Press the "Saute" button on the Instant Pot and heat the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
3. Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.
4. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender.
5. Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, pearl barley, thyme, and rosemary. Stir to combine.
6. Close the lid and set the valve to "Sealing". Press the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" button and set the cooking time to 20 minutes at high pressure.
7. When the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
8. Open the lid and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, sprinkle with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Variations:
* Italian-inspired: Add 1 can (6 oz) of Italian-style tomatoes and 1 tsp dried oregano to the pot with the beef broth.
* Spicy: Add 1-2 diced jalapeƱos or serrano peppers to the pot for an extra kick of heat.
* Vegan: Substitute vegetable broth for the beef broth and omit the beef stew meat. Add 1 can (15 oz) of kidney beans, drained and rinsed, for added protein.
* Make it a one-pot meal: Serve the soup with crusty bread, crackers, or a side of roasted vegetables for a satisfying meal.
