Carrie's Vegetable Farro Soup
My cousin carrie made this for a family reunion. I'd never had farro before - it's a grain but this soup has won me over to it. It is supposedly one of the first grains discovered and the ancestor of modern wheat. It is said to have sustained the roman legions as they conquered europe.
Steps
Brown chicken breast in a large soup pot.
Add the rest of ingredients except the farro.
Simmer 30 minutes on medium heat.
Add farro just before serving.
When cooking farro it is 2 cups farro to 4 cups water and cook about 20 minutes or until done.
Ingredients
boneless chicken breasts, onion, carrots, cracked farro, chicken stock, fresh parsley, fresh garlic clove, green beans, stewed tomatoes, water, salt and pepper
