I'm sure you've tried some one-pot wonders, which are often regrettable. This one, though, hits the mark. And couldn't be easier.
Tuscan Farro Soup
I did sub a can of great northern beans for the dried beans indicated, and omitted the parmesan at the end (trying to eliminate dairy). Oh, and added a bit of tuscan herbs I had in the pantry. The farro does not overwhelm, but adds a very nice texture.
As you take a break from supping and dreaming of Tuscany, take a look at this little gem.
Mr. DeFede tells the story of the day air space over the U.S. came to a halt on 9/11 and planes were diverted to Gander, Newfoundland. The hospitality thousands of passengers received in Gander and surrounding small towns was remarkable and a testament to compassion lurking around the corner, perhaps when we believe it to be disappearing. I will admit it's not the best crafted book, but the storyline will grab you.
Hopefully both the soup and the book delight.
Ooh my, your soup sounds delicious, and packed with goodness. I shall add to my recipe book :)
ReplyDeleteYes, it always amazes me that despite each others daily banters in this big old world, when the needs arise, there is still much good.
Thank you for the recommendations !
