Instant Pot Potato Soup
It’s finally cooling off in our corner of the world. The record breaking heat is over, we totaled 34 days of temperatures over 110 degrees. To add insult to injury, we barely got 100 drops of monsoon rain. No matter how long and hot our summers are, once the heat breaks, we Phoenicians emerge from…
