Another winner from Caro! I used…goat cheese for my creaminess which was insanely delicious. I subbed chicken breasts and they were a little overcooked, would shorten the cook time on those next time!
Pro tip for kids keep some shredded chicken on the side and strain the broth (god forbid they eat kale). Add the shredded chicken back in - both my kids loved! And the parents loved the full version.
Just made a pot of this gorgeous soup. It’s delicious and I did not go the creamy route (may add in mid-week!). Note: don’t forget to add your herbs with the farro and kale, I didn’t see that step in the instructions. I added rosemary and the flavor is amazing.
Any tips for making this in a slow cooker? I assume cook on low about 6ish hours and then add in the greens and cream for the last hour or so (like the white chicken chili calls for)?
Yes, exactly! Add the chopped veggies (not the greens yet) then the farro then the chicken, herbs, and spices on top. Cover with stock. Start with 6 cups liquid — add more if needed to ensure the chicken's totally submerged. Cook on low for 6 hours then remove chicken to shred. Add the shredded chicken back in with the chopped greens, 1/2 lemon juice, and creamy ingredient (if using). Stir and cook for another 30 minutes, then taste and adust seasonings as needed.
This soup is absolutely delicious. Made it last night for dinner, and leftovers for lunch are even better. Added croutons and grated parm to the top, and it’s delicious! Thank you, Caro!
OBSESSED!! My boyfriend and I are eating this right now and he said it's the best thing I've ever made. He's on bowl #2 already! I did rosemary and parmesan route. Absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend and as she says- a full lemon :)

This was so good! Perfect for our first crisp (65 degrees 😂) fall day in VA. Threw the veggies in the vitamix for a quick chop which saved a lot of time. Added some cream cheese and made the cookbook salty honey toasts. 💯💯💯 This would be a great meal to bring to a friend!
This soup is SO good. The chopping took some time but it was nice to zone out and listen to Audible. Once the chopping was done, everything else was so straightforward and easy peasy for a weeknight! Plus leftovers for lunch!
if you have a food processor, use it next time for quickie chopping!! but i agree, it's meditative and i'm listening to The Women and want all the time to listen to it!!
“Souper” easy, “souper” delicious! I did add a little cream because I had a small amount in the fridge that needed to be used. No leeks in my local store today (good grief!) so I used half a sweet onion (that was also in the fridge) and a shallot. I am confident those were satisfactory subs!! Thanks for another great recipe!
Ok peeps we made this last night. Was soooo good. I thought I added too much fresh thyme last night, just had it for lunch today though and the soup is INCREDIBLE. Next time I am going to make it a day early because Caro was not joking about the Farro! So delicious on day 2

Just made this for lunches this week and tasted a bowl — YUM!!

The witchcraft that is this soup! Both of my normally soup snubbing kids are STEALING MINE for the second day in a row.

yesss into the vitamix!
I'm going to make this tonight, i'm assuming i can throw all the veg in the food processors b/c im too lazy to chop
always!! food processors rule during soup season
This was so good. Love the flavor of the leeks and the brightness the lemon gives!
the leeks were a late swap on my third round of testing and they really amp it up!!!!
Just made this, and it was absolutely delicious!!! Will be making on repeat this fall and winter.
makes me so so happy to hear, megan!

I’m listening to Meet Me at the Lake based on your recommendation and I’m hooked!

sometimes you just gotta add a little cream! YUM!

farro is truly the best soup ingredient (also, barley, as in "good soup") because they just get better the longer they sit!!! xoxo
