Crockpot White Bean Farro Soup
A very easy to make soup all done in the slow cooker! A flavorful broth made creamy with blended white beans and then the soup is filled with farro, kale, peppers, and more beans!
Equipment
- 1 6 Quart (or larger) crockpot
- Blender
Ingredients
- 2 cans (15 ounces/425g) white beans, divided
- 5 cloves garlic (20g), peeled
- 1 sweet onion (8 ounces/254g) roughly chopped
- 4 cups (960ml) water
- 1 ½ tablespoons vegetable better than bouillon
- 1 bell pepper (175g), finely chopped
- 10 leaves Dino kale (about 140g), chiffonade
- 1 cup (208g) farro
- 2 tablespoons (13g) all purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Into the crockpot add 1 can of white beans (do not drain). Along with the chopped onion, whole garlic cloves, water, and better than bouillon. Cook on high for 2 hours.
- After 2 hours use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the soup up until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
- After 2 hours mix the all purpose flour with 3 tablespoons (45ml) water to make a flour slurry. This will help to thicken the soup.
- Then add into the crockpot the other can of beans (drained and rinsed), kale, pepper, farro, and flour slurry. Continue to cook on high for another 2 hours.
- Once it is done taste and add salt and pepper to preference. Along with any other seasonings you may like. Enjoy.

Notes
- If you want to use vegetable broth instead of water and better than bouillon you can.
- If you want to prepare this for being out all day I would cook the first step over low while you are out. Then come home and blend it. Then cook on high for 2 hours.
