The popularity of farro isn’t hard to understand, as it’s an extremely versatile grain with a nutty flavor and chewy bite.
Warm, Italian Soup Puts Farro in the Spotlight
Simple and comforting, this hearty Italian soup, with its crispy farro and pancetta garnish, is sure to please on a chilly spring night.
I love it in salads or pilafs, but my favorite way to enjoy farro is in soup. Unlike rice or noodles, which can become mushy as they sit in the soup, farro is hearty enough to maintain its satisfying texture, which is why it works so well in this Italian soup. Marek Uliasz/Dreamstime/TNS
