Bonus Recipe - Farro Soup

Love, love, love this soup. First off all it's delicious, it's easy, and it makes enough  that I can bring it for lunch at work. I love a good lunch. I think I may have a little soup obsession going on here. Its like the very first signs of fall arrive and I'm wanting to stock up on soups. Farro is an Italian grain and one of the healthiest grains there is. It is firm and chewy and has wonderful flavor. I'm included pics with the recipe this time.
