Mushroom and Farro Soup
Description
Oh, hi soup weather! This mushroom and farro soup (which you can seamlessly swap with barley) is one of the soups that has been on repeat during cold winter months. It’s deeply savory, ultra-hearty, and downright delicious. Plus, it’s also vegetarian! Don’t worry, though–with the “meatiness” of the mushrooms, you will not miss the meat in this soup recipe!

Note
Quick Tip: Farro is a whole grain, and very similar to brown rice. It has a chewy texture, but with a slightly nuttier flavor than rice. The important thing to note is to choose pearled farro. Pearled farro has had the bran removed and it’ll need less cooking time than whole farro. Whole farro will absorb too much liquid and takes much longer to cook through.
