Chicken Farro Kudzu Soup

This soup had me audibly mutter mhmmmmmmmmm because it is so good! The kudzu and leeks go perfectly with the balsamic and oddly enough dill. Slurp this soup when you need something hardy with a slight hint of summer.

Ingredients:
-3 tbsp chicken stock (or olive oil)
-1 red or vidalia onion, finely chopped
-3  cloves garlic, minced
-4 cups chicken broth
-1 cup Trader Joe's 10 minute Farro (or cooked farro)
-1 bay leaf
-2 cups frozen leeks
-1 carrot
-1 celery stock
-1/2 cup tomato sauce
-4 cups shredded kudzu
-1/2 tomato chopped
-1 cup, shredded cooked chicken
-1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
-1 tsp no-salt/multi-blend seasoning
-1/2 tsp cumin
-1/8 tsp dill

Directions: In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, add the oil/stock and the onions. Cook until they start to turn transulcent (3-6min) then add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the Farro, broth, bay leaf, carrot, and celery, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, add frozen leeks, chicken and tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the tomato, kudzu, vinegar and spices, cook for 5 minutes and enjoy warm.
