Wintertime is made for comfort food, don't you agree? Hey it's Deb from Bowl Me Over - I wanted to stop by again and share one of my new favorite soups - Beef Barley Soup AND share a bit about my new favorite piece of equipment the Instant Pot.

I'm really not one to jump on a band-wagon, but when something comes along that everyone is singing about, I confess I want to know why. So I bought one. There it sat on the counter until my oven shorted out (and nearly burned the house down on Thanksgiving Day) - you can read more about it here and while you're there, be sure to grab my recipe for Instant Pot Potato Soup with Ham!

Anyway.... 'nuff of that! Let me tell you about this delicious and amazing soup!
