One Pot Farro Veggie Loaded Minestrone Soup Recipe | Healthy Eats by Jennie

I love Minestrone Soup! This Minestrone Soup Recipe is delicious and is packed with a lot of veggies! To boost its health factor, it includes farro instead of pasta! Farro is amazing in soups, so you won’t even miss the pasta! This Minestrone Soup Recipe may take some time to make, but it is a perfect meal to make ahead. It is easy to reheat for lunches / dinners and freezes well.  Another bonus is that you cook it all in one pot! No one wants to use and clean more than one pot!
