When I have leftover chicken or turkey bones, either after Thanksgiving, or after ordering rotisserie chicken, I love to make this hearty soup.

    1. Place the turkey or chicken carcass, carrots, pearl barley, bullion cube, water, and thyme into the pressure cooker.
    2. Seal the lid and cook at high pressure for 45 minutes.
