Steps

Step 1: Make the Soup

Make the Soup
  • 12 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 carrots chopped (≈1 1⁄2 cups)
  • 3⁄4 yellow onion chopped (≈3⁄4 cup)
  • 1 1⁄2 stalks celery chopped (≈3⁄4 cup)
  • 4 1⁄2 cloves garlic minced (≈1 1⁄2 tablespoons)
  • 1⁄3 cup white wine (or sub veggie broth)
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 3⁄4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 1⁄2 fresh bay leaves
  • 3 oz kale stemmed & chopped (≈3 cups)
  • 1 1⁄2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • sea salt (optional)

Method

PREPARE GRAINS
Prepare farro according to package instructions. Let cool, then fluff farro with a fork.

SAUTÉ VEGETABLES
In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook mushrooms, carrots, onions, celery, and garlic, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add white wine 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time as needed, to keep vegetables from sticking.

START SOUP
Add tomato paste to pan and cook until it starts to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add any remaining wine, vegetable broth, thyme, and bay leaf. Increase heat to high, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until vegetables are tender, 5 minutes.

FINISH SOUP
Add cooked farro and kale to pan. Remove bay leaf. Simmer until flavors meld, 5 minutes. Add cider vinegar.

SERVE
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Chef's Notes
