How to cook deliciously - Farro, Mushroom, and Spinach Soup

1. Stage

Cook the mushrooms and scallions: In a stockpot or large saucepot over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their juices and turn golden brown. Stir in the thyme, soy sauce, and scallions, and cook for 2 minutes longer.

2. Stage

Add the farro, wine, salt, and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the wine has reduced

3. Stage

Stir in the stock and bring to a simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes, or until the farro is tender (taste one of the grains to check). Uncover, turn the heat up to high, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to reduce the liquid to the consistency of a thick stew. (If the farro looks dry, add a little more stock at this point.)

4. Stage

Stir in the spinach and parsley: Cook for 30 seconds, or until the spinach wilts. Stir in the 1/2 cup Parmesan. Taste, and season with more salt and pepper, if you like. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle a little Parmesan on top.
