Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup uncooked farro
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup canned white beans drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables

  • Wash and chop all vegetables. Dice the onion, carrots and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic finely. Keep everything ready before you start cooking the Tuscan Farro Soup Recipe.

Rinse the Farro

  • Place the farro in a bowl. Rinse it under cold water. Drain well. This removes extra starch and dust. Set the farro aside for later use.

Cook the Base

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for five minutes. Stir often until vegetables become soft and fragrant.

Add Garlic and Spices

  • Add minced garlic to the pot. Cook for one minute. Then add oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well so the spices coat the vegetables evenly.

Add Tomatoes and Broth

  • Pour diced tomatoes into the pot. Stir gently. Add vegetable broth and rinsed farro. Mix everything well. Increase heat slightly and bring the soup to a gentle boil.

Simmer the Soup

  • Reduce heat to low. Cover the pot loosely. Let the soup simmer for about 25 minutes. Stir sometimes so the farro does not stick to the bottom.

Add Beans and Spinach

  • After the farro becomes tender, add white beans and chopped spinach. Stir well. Cook for five more minutes until spinach wilts and beans are heated through.

Finish With Lemon Juice

  • Turn off the heat. Add lemon juice and stir gently. Taste the soup. Adjust salt if needed. Your Tuscan Farro Soup Recipe is now ready to serve warm.

Notes

  • Use good quality olive oil for better flavor.
  • Do not overcook the farro. It should be tender but chewy.
  • Add more broth if soup becomes too thick.
  • You can add zucchini for extra vegetables.
  • For extra protein, add cooked chicken pieces.
  • Taste before serving and adjust seasoning.
