Instructions
1
Saut Vegetables and Herbs
Start by warming some olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion, celery, and carrots, and cook them until the onion becomes soft and translucent—this usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Then add the garlic along with the basil and oregano, cooking everything for another 30 seconds so the flavors really come alive. Next, stir in the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cover the pot. Let it cook on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes, giving it a stir now and then.

Simmer Farro and Veggies
Once the mushrooms have softened, uncover the pot and add the celery leaves, vegetable stock, farro, tomato paste, and soy sauce. Bring it all to a simmer and let it cook until the farro is tender, which should take around 25 to 30 minutes. Finally, pour in the coconut milk and warm the soup through for another 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or plant-based milk if it thickens too much. This soup also freezes well; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
