CHICKEN SOUP WITH TOASTED FARRO AND GREENS
Somewhere between a soup and a stew, this comforting dish starts with chicken stock seasoned with leeks, carrots and celery. Garlic and fennel seeds are toasted along with the farro to add another layer of flavor. Boneless chicken thighs are cooked in the broth, then greens are tossed in just before serving. This soup is best served right away, as the farro will continue to absorb liquid as it sits, but leftovers can be reheated with some additional broth or water over low heat. Lemon zest lends a lovely lift, but a spoonful of chile oil would also be lively addition.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add the leeks, carrots and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have softened, but have not taken on any color, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Add the garlic, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Add the farro and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the stock and chicken thighs. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the chicken has cooked through and is no longer pink, 10 to 12 minutes, skimming any bits of foam that float to the surface, if desired. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the chicken to a cutting board. When cool enough to touch, shred the chicken into bite-size pieces.
- Continue simmering the soup until the farro is tender but still toothsome, about 20 minutes more. Add the chicken back to the pot along with the greens and stir until greens are gently wilted. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Ladle into bowls and grate lemon zest over top, if desired.

QUICK-BRAISED CHICKEN WITH GREENS
There's a family of dishes that are both tangy and cozy: hot and sour soup, braised collard greens, puttanesca, brisket and now, this pot of braised chicken and greens. Its bite comes from hot pickled peppers and their brine, while the comfort comes from browned onions, tomato paste, cumin and chicken broth - and the knowledge that you can make this dish quickly with boneless thighs and any dark, leafy greens in your fridge. Eat the stew on top of something starchy to soak up the broth; it's especially good with crunchy olive oil-fried toast (see Tip).

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring just a few times, until translucent and browned, 6 to 9 minutes. Add the peppers, tomato paste, brown sugar and cumin, and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste is a shade darker and starts to stick to the bottom of the pot, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the broth, chicken, greens and pickled-pepper brine. Season with salt and stir to combine. Cover the pot, keep on medium-high and bring to a simmer. Uncover, reduce heat to low, and cook uncovered until the chicken is cooked through and the greens are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Using two forks, shred the chicken right in the pot into pieces, then stir to combine. Taste and adjust with salt, sugar (if it's too tangy or spicy) and brine (if it's too sweet or flat). Eat with starch of choice.
CHICKEN, WILD RICE AND GREEN BEAN SOUP
This is very easy, and economical when chickens are on sale. I've had good comments on this one. The dried vegetable flakes, brown and wild rices are sold in the bulk section of many supermarkets or natural food stores. This is the best use I know for frozen green beans. The liquid of the soup supports them somehow and makes them seem fresh.

Steps:
- Rinse the chicken inside and out and put it in a 6 quart pot. Add water to cover the chicken up to 2 inches or so beneath the rim of the pot.
- Bring to a simmer and simmer until foam appears on top of the water. Skim off all the foam (scum) and discard it.
- Add the dried vegetable mix, the brown rice and the wild rice, the curry powder and the salt to the pot and simmer covered for 45 minutes to one hour or until the chicken is completely cooked.
- If you have the thin green beans that are longer than one-bite-size, use a sharp knife to cut them into bite-size lengths.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and add the still-frozen green beans.
- Simmer covered 10 to15 minutes more until green beans are just tender while you remove skin, bones and other unwanted bits from the chicken.
- Cut the chicken meat into chunky pieces and return it to the soup.
- For the low-fat version, chill the soup and skim the chicken fat off the top, then reheat. For maximum flavor, leave the fat in!
