Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 1 large Leek
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- 2 cups kale
- 2 cups swiss chard
- 1 15-ounce can white beans
- 1 cup farro
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing your vegetables. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the carrots and celery into thin rounds. Clean the leek thoroughly, slicing the white and light green parts into thin rounds.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and leeks. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add in the vegetable broth and the can of diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir well.
Rinse and chop the kale and swiss chard, removing any tough stems. Add them into the pot along with the drained and rinsed white beans.
Stir in the farro, bay leaves, and thyme. Season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 30-35 minutes, or until the farro is tender.
Once the soup is done, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the bay leaves before serving. Enjoy the soup hot with crusty bread or your favorite vegan side dish.
