Notes

  • If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating. I ❤️ hearing from you!

  • If you’re short on time, you can skip sauteeing the vegetables and just add all the ingredients in a crockpot and cook the soup from there.
  • To make soup more heartier, you can add a can of rinsed white or kidney beans.
  • Make sure to rinse your farro before adding it to the slow cooker. This helps remove any debris and also prevents the farro from becoming too gummy as it cooks.
  • Love meal prep? This soup freezes well, so make a double batch and freeze half for a quick and easy meal later on.
