You will fall in love with this simple and healthy soup that still manages to be full of flavor. An easy meatless dish, this is a light soup that will transition you into spring. The paleo version substitutes shrimp and zucchini for beans and farro.

Surprisingly delicious for how healthy it is! Doubled the broth and didn't drain the tomatoes. Added the beans with the farro, because they definitely didn't need to cook. Added parmesan and lemon juice at the very end, but it was yummy without that. Would try kidney or garbanzo beans next time, but so good!
