There are no "good" solutions here. They could try to poach defectors from the Assad Regime army or the Islamic State forces, but these individuals are likely hesitant to join. The Assad Regime Army is mostly made up of religious minorities which will likely do worse in a democratic Syria and the Islamic State forces are usually true believers in their cause. They could solicit foreign recruits, but this would damage the idea of this being a national army and not some Western conspiracy. They could forcibly conscript young men and women in the areas under their control, but this would make them deeply unpopular.

However, far more of an issue than manpower is training. Most of the Free Syrian Army has very basic military training, e.g. this is a rifle, squeeze here. They are not trained in urban warfare tactics. They do not have modern medical care. They do not have air support. If these problems were remedied, the lack of manpower would be far less of a pressing issue.

If the Free Syrian Army started recruiting foreigners the same way that the French Foreign Legion does would it have the manpower that it would need to win the Syrian Civil War?

That could work, from strictly a manpower perspective, but most foreign recruits would be untrained and poorly equipped. Additionally, each foreign recruit undermines the legitimacy of the Free Syrian Army as a Syrian Army. As a result, it is not a likely policy to be embraced.

What if the Confederate Army had outnumbered the Union Army?

The Confederate army did outnumber the Union army, at first. It was only late in the Civil War that conscription in the North brought in manpower that could not be matched by the smaller populations in the South. The Union also had considerably higher casualty rates, while collateral civilian deaths were much higher in the destroyed cities of the South.
