Farro is rich in protein, fiber, and iron. This soup will make 4 servings as a main or 6 to 8 for a light lunch. The coconut milk adds a slightly creamy texture to the soup, which pairs well with the slightly chewy farro.

FARRO-MUSHROOM SOUP



Farro-Mushroom Soup image

A twist on mushroom-barley soup, this warming broth, nourished with fresh hens of the woods, royal trumpets, oysters, and chanterelles, counts as a meal. The farro is tender but with a satisfying chew, a handful of dried porcini offers additional depth of flavor, and dill and vinegar give each spoonful a real pop.

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup whole hulled farro, such as Hayden Flour Mills Farro Berries
2 cups boiling water
1/2 ounce dry porcini mushrooms (1/4 cup)
3 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/4 pounds mixed wild mushrooms, such as hen of the woods, royal trumpet, oyster, and chanterelle, wiped clean and sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
Chopped fresh dill, for serving

Steps:

  • Soak farro overnight in water to cover; drain.
  • In a small bowl, pour boiling water over porcini; let stand 5 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid. Chop porcini.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine farro, broth, and porcini liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until almost tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over high. Add onion, garlic, and porcini mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add wild mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have released liquid and begun to brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in sherry; cook until evaporated, about 1 minute.
  • Stir mushroom mixture into soup; cook, partially covered, until farro is tender, about 15 minutes. Season with vinegar, salt, and pepper. Serve, sprinkled with dill.

MUSHROOM-FARRO SOUP WITH PARMESAN BROTH



Mushroom-Farro Soup With Parmesan Broth image

This dish is layered in earthiness and umami thanks to its ingredient list: farro, dried and fresh mushrooms, shallots and Parmesan broth. Farro is a rustic grain, hearty enough to maintain its integrity and stand up to a long simmer. Similar to arborio rice, pearled farro readily releases its starch as it cooks, thickening the broth and marrying the ingredients in a blissful union. A pinch of fennel pollen at the end is a classy move, though absolutely not mandatory.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup pearled farro
1 ounce dried mixed mushrooms or dried porcini mushrooms, roughly torn or chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup minced shallots (from about 5 medium shallots)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
5 cups Parmesan broth
1/3 cup dry white wine
5 fresh thyme sprigs
2/3 cup finely grated Parmesan (about 1 ounce), plus more for garnish
1 pound mixed fresh mushrooms (such as beech mushrooms, hen of the woods or oyster mushrooms), roughly torn
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees and bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Spread farro out on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice to toast the grains evenly.
  • While farro toasts, place dried mushrooms in a small bowl and cover completely with 1 1/2 cups hot water from the saucepan. Cover the bowl and set aside to hydrate.
  • Place a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the shallots and 1/2 teaspoon salt and sauté until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, adding a splash of water if necessary to prevent it from scorching.
  • Stir in the toasted farro. Carefully scoop the dried mushrooms from their soaking liquid and add them to the pot. Strain their soaking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into the pot as well, discarding any grit left in the sieve. Add Parmesan broth, white wine and thyme to the pot and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once liquid boils, lower to a simmer and cook, covered, for 25 minutes. Uncover the pot and continue to cook at an active simmer until the farro is al dente, swimming in a lightly creamy broth, another 25 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard thyme stems and stir in the grated Parmesan. Season with black pepper to taste.
  • When the farro is almost done, cook the fresh mushrooms: Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high. Add half the torn fresh mushrooms, stir to coat, then cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then cook until the mushrooms are golden and caramelized, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a medium bowl. Repeat with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and remaining fresh mushrooms, transferring cooked mushrooms to bowl. Stir 2 teaspoons vinegar into cooked mushrooms; season to taste.
  • To serve, ladle soup into shallow bowls. Top with seared mushrooms and extra Parmesan, to taste.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will give your soup a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the soup. This will help to brown them and bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. You can also use chicken broth if you prefer.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the soup. This will help to brighten the flavor. Some good options include parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Farro mushroom soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give this soup a try.
