Beef Barley Soup

Beef Barley Soup Instant Pot

Beef Barley Soup in the Instant Pot is a great way to enjoy a hearty and flavorful soup! It’s full of tender meat and vegetables and very satisfying!

It is made with chuck roast, whole-grain barley, fresh veggies, and a well-seasoned broth. My favorite thing to end a cold day with at dinner time is a steaming bowl of soup, like this one.

Beef Barley Soup In the Instant Pot

There’s just something about all those ingredients simmering together building up flavor, and serving it warm for sipping that creates a cozy dish like no other. It is true comfort food. And this one has a great blend of textures as well, with the tender beef and veggies, chewy barley, and the base of very flavorful beef broth.

  • Chuck roast – is probably the best cut of beef for soups and stew. A fattier beef-like chuck roast will be more tender. Other cuts of meat like rump are too lean and will end up chewy and a little dry. Brown the beef first, this adds a rich layer of flavor.
  • Pearl barley – works great here. Medium barley is preferred, it’s just the right size
