Mushroom Barley Soup in the Instant Pot

"Working from home at the lake has been quite different for me. In the past, I could run out for lunch with friends or walk for coffee or meet Dewey. Here, I can still go out for lunch but it is at least a 20-minute drive one way. Instead, I’ve decided to focus on eating healthier meals at home. This week, I decided to recreate a soup I had at a local soup and sandwich restaurant…Mushroom Barley Soup. Plus I made it even easier by making it in my Instant Pot! Since this soup has no meat in it, it is a great low-calorie option. I did make it with beef broth but you could easily make it vegan by using veggie broth instead (I just didn’t have any)."
