Hi!
Quick Tuscan Farro Soup With Beans And Kale
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion – chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic – minced
- 2 carrots – diced
- 1 celery stalk – diced
- 2 medium potatoes – chopped
- 1 can cannellini beans
- 150 g quick cook farro
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1-1.25 liters vegetable broth
- 200 g cavolo nero or kale – chopped thick stalks removed
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper – to taste
Instructions:
Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the onion is tender and translucent. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute.
Add the chopped carrot, celery, potatoes, tomato sauce, farro, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes.
Add the cavolo nero and cannellini beans and cook on low heat for another 5-8 minutes, until the greens are tender (see note 2).
If the soup is too thick for your liking, add more broth or a bit of water to thin it down. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from the heat, add the chopped parsley, mix well and serve hot.
Enjoy !
