Ingredients

• 1 cup farro, rinsed
• 2 cups water

Here's how to make it: 

1. Put the farro and water into a pot. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cover the pot and set aside. 
2. In a large soup pot, add the beans, broth, garlic, thyme and carrots. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer gently for about 15 minutes. Carefully mash some of the beans to help thicken the soup. (You could use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.)
3. Add the farro and continue cooking another 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (For added nutrition, throw in some fresh spinach leaves or chopped kale. If you like a creamy soup, stir in some heavy cream.) Serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
