Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 15-ounce can canned tomatoes, diced
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 3 quarters of a cup farro (uncooked)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced zucchini, diced tomatoes (including their juices), and the vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Rinse the farro under cold water and add it to the pot along with the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the farro is tender but still slightly chewy.

Step 7

Stir in the baby spinach and allow it to wilt for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice for a burst of fresh flavor.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, with crusty bread on the side if desired.
