A little white wine balances and brightens the savory elements of this wonderfully complex mushroom soup, which, by the way, is vegan! Shopping tip: Buying packages of pre-sliced wild mushrooms certainly cuts down on prep time, but if you don’t mind some extra chopping, the uncut kind can be less expensive.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 yellow onion, chopped

  • 3 carrots, sliced

  • 3 stalks celery, sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 lb mixed mushrooms (such as oyster, shiitake, and cremini), sliced

  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided

  • ¾ cup pearled farro

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus leaves for serving

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • 5 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Add mushrooms, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender and browned, 7 to 8 minutes.

  3. Stir in farro and chopped rosemary; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is toasted and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine and cook, stirring constantly, until wine has almost evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in broth and remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

  4. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until farro is tender, 14 to 16 minutes. Serve topped with rosemary leaves.
