- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups kale, chopped

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Pour in the vegetable broth and crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Add the quinoa, farro, brown rice, barley, fresh thyme, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until all the grains are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the chopped kale and spinach, stirring them into the hot soup. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.
Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Serve the soup hot with a slice of crusty bread or garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
