Hearty Spring Soup Recipe
Tuscan Chicken, Mushroom, & Kale Soup
1 lb. ground chicken

The night before making the soup place ground chicken in a storage container. Add chopped or minced garlic cloves, Italian seasoning, and fennel seeds. Mix well and store in the refrigerator overnight.
In a stockpot, add olive oil. Over medium-high heat, add chicken and cook, breaking up into pieces until browned. Add salt, onion, garlic, carrots, mushrooms, and kale. Cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are softened. Add chicken broth to the mixture. Add the farro and stir into the mixture. Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover stockpot, and cook for about 20 to 25 minutes or until carrots and farro reach desired tenderness.
