Turmeric Farro Soup

Turmeric has been used in India for hundreds of generations for its spice and natural healing power. The main active ingredient in Turmeric is called curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory effects. My Turmeric Farro Soup also has kale and turkey, so your body will be full of delicious superfoods. Farro is an ancient grain, and although it was my first time making it, I fell in love with its grainy texture and taste. I noticed that as its cooking, it froths a lot more than quinoa or rice, nonetheless, it was super simple to make! This is the quick version of this recipe, if you have the time, I recommend throwing all the ingredients in your slow cooker and cooking on high for 4 hours (minus the kale), letting the flavors infuse all day!
