Tuscan White Bean Tomato and Farro Soup

Posted in Gluten Free, Let the Good Thymes Roll, Recipes, Soup, Vegan by

So I was having guests over for dinner last night and want to keep it simple. A good hearty bowl of soup, a salad, and a blackberry crumble. Nothing too crazy, right?

After searching through my pantry and refrigerator, I discovered I had all the ingredients for a Tuscan White Bean Soup. I like this version using fresh Tuscan kale from my garden and healthy nutritious farro. Farro is an ancient grain that is high in fiber, protein and rich in B vitamins.

I like to add it to soup instead of rice for these reasons. If you can’t find farro in your health food store, then you can substitute with brown rice or quinoa. This recipe can also be augmented by adding 1-inch chunks of turkey sausage. Yum!

For my salad, I settled on a citrus medley with fennel and avocado (see the photo below.) Still considering the crumble idea though…I haven’t gotten that far yet!
