My thoughts:

I hateful value what I similar the nearly well-nigh soup is that it is a groovy agency to operate upwards a bunch of ingredients without a lot of effort. I e'er stop upwards with small-scale amounts of ingredients from other recipe creations equally good I detest throwing them out but around times inwards that house but isn't enough of them build much of anything. Luckily with nearly soups, you don't involve likewise much of whatever i gene to build a delicious soup.

I roasted a chicken yesterday equally good ended upwards with a ton of leftover meat. I also had a lot of odds equally good ends of vegetables that I figured I could operate up. I also wanted to endeavour the novel Valencia orange pare I bought (McCormick).

I pick out a big handbag of farro leftover from when I was writing my nearly recent cookbook that I watch powerfulness deed a practiced summation to the soup. I'd never had farro inwards soup before but I similar farro thus it was worth a shot. Luckily it worked well! It had a lovely chewy texture equally good spell it made the soup more than filling that I hateful value it would pick out been otherwise, it didn't build the soup seem "heavy".

Note: I made this inwards the wearisome cooker but you could instruct far on the stove top, but saute the vegetables until softened thus add together together the chicken, stock equally good cooked farro. It is but slightly easier to build inwards the wearisome cooker equally good makes your set odor groovy all day.
