Spirited Essence Works

Well up here in the Northwest, snow just covered the entire valley. Winter and snow just screams soup weather to me. I know everyone runs to the store for bread and milk, but pick up these few ingredients for this recipe and you will be staying healthy and warm for a couple of days. To me a great bowl of soup, warms the soul on a wintry day. I received an InstaPot for Christmas. And let me tell you, I am hooked! Never cooked things so fast. This beef stew calls for Chicken Broth and I know your thinking this lady is crazy but I tell you what it makes the flavor even better. Also, helps soothe little ones with a cold, if you have any in your household like I do. The ingredients are very minimal and cooks super fast. You can cook this recipe in a crockpot as well, but just would take a few hours longer.
