So Tasty Vegetable Beef Soup

Nothing is better than a good vegetable soup and especially using this quick method. I’ve made this recipe at least a half dozen times in past month and share it with my mother. You can add other veggies to your liking, but may need to adjust broth quantity. Preparing the veggies takes longer than the cooking process! I love my Instant Pot…every home should have one! Enjoy
