Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and bay leaves and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the broth, tomatoes, chickpeas, basil, and oregano. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.

Step 3

Add the farro and spinach and stir just until the spinach is wilted. Season the soup with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 4

Ladle into soup bowls and serve warm. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Chef’s notes

Note-to cook the farro, rinse and drain ¾ cup farro. Place in a pot and add enough water to cover. Add a little salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes. Drain any excess water.

OR you can buy Trader Joe’s 10 minute farro, it is my favorite and only takes 10 minutes to cook.

For a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese.
