Winter Greens Soup Recipe - CHOW

Winter Greens Soup Recipe - CHOW

INGREDIENTS

* 2 cups dried farro
* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* 5 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
* 1 medium white onion, medium dice (about 1 cup)
* 1 large carrot, medium dice (about 1/2 cup)
* 12 medium red potatoes, such as Red Bliss (about 3 pounds), coarsely chopped
* 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
* 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
* 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
* 1 medium bay leaf
* 3 cups cooked, drained garbanzo beans
* 1 bunch Swiss chard, leaves removed from stems and coarsely chopped (about 8 cups packed)
* 1 bunch Tuscan kale, leaves removed from stems and coarsely chopped (about 6 cups packed)
* 3 cups canned high-quality chopped tomatoes, such as Pomi
* 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
* 6 cups (1 1/2 quarts) low-sodium chicken broth

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Soak farro in 6 cups of water at least 8 hours or overnight.
2. Transfer farro and soaking water to a large pot, add salt, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until farro is tender and chewy, about 45 to 60 minutes. Drain and reserve farro.
3. Place olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. When it shimmers, add garlic, onion, and carrot. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook until vegetables are tender and onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add farro, potatoes, herbs, and garbanzo beans and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir mixture so that everything gets coated in oil and herbs.
5. Add chard and kale to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until greens start to let off liquid and shrink in size, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
6. Add chicken broth (the vegetable mix should be just covered by the liquid—if there is not enough, add some water) and bring to a simmer. Simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are cooked through, about 35 to 40 minutes. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, remove bay leaf, and serve.

I got a confession to make. I am food addict, over-indulgent! I crave for anything especially sweets, chocolates, cakes, ice cream, strawberries, halo-halo, leche flan, banana Q, breads, pasta, Nasi Goreng....tell me what you got in your fridge ;-D. Thank heavens for I got my mum's genes, I can gain and lose pounds that easy and quick. I am here to share with you my food recipe collection (almost forgotten in a corner of my room) and search for new, exciting recipes, meet good people, and discover more about the world of baking. I am no professional baker or chef (just a wanna-be for now) but we'll get there in time. In sha Allah. Afterall, DREAMS just got to start somewhere, and it starts right here, right now! Meantime enjoy this food journey with me among other stuff....amigos to the kitchen! [Thank you for visiting my blog,you're always welcome to come by! Feel free to dig deep into the posts, much treasures there. And leave your comments, I'd appreciate your words....] [P.S. Borrowed articles/photos can be deleted anytime, please advise.Thank you.]
