I like to try new grains and picked up a bag of farro sometime back. Farro has a nutty flavor and a high fiber and protein content. It is also rich in magnesium and B vitamins. You can eat farro on its own or in salads and soups. This soup is a meal by itself and here I have served it in homemade bread bowls. The flavors mingled well and the soup was very tasty. Off to the recipe.
