LUCCAN FARRO SOUP (MARK BITTMAN)
A hearty winter soup from Mark Bittman. He tasted it on a recent trip to Lucca, a town in Tuscany. If you don't have farro, you can substitute with spelt or barley. The recipe was printed in New York Times (Dec. 18, 2008). You can also add a Parmesan rind for more flavour. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Put oil in a large, deep saucepan over medium heat; a minute later add onion, celery, carrots, a large pinch of salt and some pepper. Cook until vegetables are glossy and onion is softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic, and stir; add farro, beans, tomatoes and stock, and stir.
- Bring to a boil, then adjust heat so mixture simmers steadily. Cook until farro and beans are tender, at least an hour, adding stock or water as necessary if mixture becomes too thick. Stir in parsley and basil (if using), then cook another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve with lots of Parmesan.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of kale, but I really enjoyed this soup. The kale was cooked perfectly and didn't overpower the other flavors. I would definitely make this soup again.

[email protected]This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. I also think it would have been better with some fresh herbs, like thyme or rosemary.
