Just remembered that during my last trip to NYC, I went to a long family friend's place and got a taste of her veggie soup with farro. It was nutty and very good. I was suddenly inspired last week and picked up a bag of it while I was at the health food store.
So, part of my bug erradication process requires me to put things into glass jars from plastic bags and I couldn't put the entire bag's content into one jar. I had some diced tomatos in a pot I was using to poach eggs with. Into the pot I added some finely cut celery, carrots and some pieces of left over chicken for flavor, also a couple of bay leaves with salt and pepper. I poured a large handful of farro in and about half an hour later, the soup was finished. The result was delicious.
The soup has a slight nutty flavor, a bit thickened by the farro (much like barley). A nice, warm, hearty but not too heavy alternative to the usual thick soups that I favor. And no beans!
