Ingredients
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup red onion about 1 small onion, small-diced
- ¾ cup carrot about 2 medium-sized carrots, small-diced
- 8 oz white button mushroom thin-sliced, or Baby Bella mushroom
- 1 ½ cup farro
- ¼ cup parsley freshly chopped
- ¼ cup cilantro freshly chopped
- 1 tbsp basil freshly chopped leaves
- 1 tbsp lemongrass or use the paste, freshly chopped
- 1 tbsp ginger skin peeled, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 8 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- black pepper to taste
FOR SERVING:
- lemon juice optional
- parsley optional, chopped
- cilantro optional, chopped
- basil optional, chopped
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, onions, mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and sauté until the onions and mushrooms have softened.
- Next, add the lemongrass, garlic, ginger, carrots, smoked paprika, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- When ready, add the farro, cilantro, parsley, basil, and 8 cups of water or any low-sodium broth of choice.
- Cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the carrots have softened and the farro has doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
- Finally, I like to add a squeeze of lemon juice, and more fresh chopped parsley, cilantro, and basil right at the end. This adds a nice fresh finish.
- Enjoy while it's hot.
Notes
- Do you like spicy soup? Serve a bowl with dried red chili flakes, or thin-sliced circles of jalapeno peppers.
- Do you not like cilantro? Add fresh mint instead.
- One of the best ingredients in this farro soup is the lemongrass, so don't skip it!
- Note: the farro will enlarge over time so enjoy right away.
