Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup farro
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and sauté until they release their moisture and start to brown.
3. Stir in the farro, vegetable broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the farro is tender.
4. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree about half of the soup until smooth. This will help create a creamy texture while still leaving some chunkiness.
5. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
6. Serve the mushroom and farro soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley for added flavor and freshness.
