VEGAN CREAMY MUSHROOM AND FARRO SOUP

Vegan Creamy Mushroom and Farro Soup image

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.
