Description

There’s something grounding about cabbage farro soup. A comforting blend of tender cabbage ribbons and chewy farro in a herby broth, this soup is nostalgic, plant-based, and nutritious — a true seasonal favorite.


Ingredients

Scale

1 tbsp olive oil or water (for sautéing)

1 medium yellow onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 carrots, peeled and chopped

2 celery stalks, finely chopped

1/2 head of green cabbage, shredded

3/4 cup pearled or semi-pearled farro (rinsed)

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp thyme

Salt and black pepper to taste

Juice of half a lemon

Fresh parsley (for garnish)


Instructions

1. In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes.

2. Stir in shredded cabbage and cook for 5 more minutes.

3. Add rinsed farro, broth, herbs, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil.

4. Reduce heat, cover partially, and simmer for 30–35 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Finish with lemon juice and parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Notes

Use pearled or semi-pearled farro to avoid mushiness.

For gluten-free version, swap farro with barley or brown rice.

Add potatoes, chickpeas, or miso for variations.

Soup reheats and freezes well; use airtight containers.
