Tuscan Farro Soup
Tuscan Farro Soup. Another rainy, snowy, cold Monday means it’s the perfect time for cozy soup. I definitely am not a fan of this weather but it makes soup nights feel that much comfier and cozier. This Tuscan inspired bowl is loaded with farro, beans, spinach, and fire roasted tomatoes. Think all the hearty goodness loaded in one bowl to warm your bones in this dreary Monday weather !!
I feel like I repeat this every week, but is anyone else sick and tired of the cold weather in the north east?! The snow flurries/storms every other day are definitely starting to get a little old for me. But it is very true that snowy days were made for two things. Baking and soups. So, today’s dreary weather inspired a heart-warming soup.
This one is super hearty with a bit of a Tuscan flare. So many delicious beans, vegetables, and farro packed into one big cozy bowl. This soup is one of those staples for us. We’ve made it so many times, yet it really never gets old. You can change it up too. Sometimes, we add different veggies to give it a little extra flavor and color. Today we added in some spinach and used fire roasted tomatoes. We’ve kind of been on a fire roasted tomato kick lately. I mean it’s hard not to love them, they are packed with tons of flavor.
If this weather is getting you a little down too, we totally recommend trying this soup. Cozy, comforting, delicious. It’s as simple and good as that !!
