Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion (grated (about 1 cup))
  • 1 small zucchini (grated (about 1 cup))
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 5 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1/2 cup quick cook farro (I use the 10 minute farro from Trader Joes)
  • 1/2 cup red lentils
  • 1 cup chopped kale (stems removed)

Garlic Breadcrumbs

  • 68 slices of french baguette (cubed)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. ) Heat the oil in a medium sized pot over medium/high heat. Add the onion, zucchini and carrots and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, turmeric, and cumin and cook for 2-3 more minutes. You should start to smell the spices toasting.
  2. ) Stir in the broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling add the farro and lentils and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes or until lentils and farro are cooked through.
  3. ) Meanwhile, make the breadcrumbs. Add the bread and garlic into a food processor. Pulse until the bread is in small crumbs. Pour onto a baking sheet and toss with a little bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
  4. ) In the last couple of minutes of the soup cooking, add the chopped kale and stir until wilted. Serve immediately and top with the toasted breadcrumbs.

    • Any green will work well in soup. I like chard. It is chewier than most greens, but less tough than kale.

  • This soup was delicious. I didn’t have farro, I toasted pecans with the breadcrumb mixture and topped it off with a few coconut shavings. My family loved it and ordered more!

  • Loved it. It needed way more broth. It was so warming and I love how it had grains and lentils. I didn’t follow the breadcrumbs perfectly. Did you saw what temperature to bake then? Great soup. Thank you. So healthy!

  • This recipe has become on of my standard recipes to cook and freeze. I skip the bread crumbs and add extra fresh greens to the bowl whenever I reheat this soup. My daughter’s friend loves it so much that I have to send some home with her every time I make it.






  • This is an excellent and nourishing soup. It is a healthy comfort food. It has become a favorite. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
