Ingredients

1 cup farro rinsed
2 teaspoons avocado oil

4 ribs celery with leaves trimmed and diced
1 tablespoon plant-based butter optional

Instructions

Cook the farro:

Bring 3 cups of salted water to a boil in a medium pot. Add the farro, reduce heat, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse.

Start the celery broth:

In a wide pot, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until just beginning to soften about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the celery and celery leaves and cook for 5 minutes until fragrant. If using, melt the plant-based butter into the pot until frothy. Season with salt and pepper and add a pinch of crushed red pepper.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 4 minutes until the skins just barely begin to split open.

Simmer the broth:

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Finish the celery broth:

Stir in the chopped fresh herbs and lemon juice and cook until bright green, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat.

To serve:

Divide the cooked farro between bowls and ladle the broth on top. Enjoy!
