I couldn't find Spanish chorizo so used Andouille sausage. Kroger didn't have any Swiss chard so I used red chard. This is very reminiscent of Portuguese Kale soup (which I will get to eventually because I love it). I've never had farro before. I only knew that it can be used in some salads. It's kind of like barley. A little bit goes a long way in this soup.

I forgot to say, I love it!

It was too hot to go out for crusty bread (because that's what this needs) but I made cornbread. Better than just dumping in oyster crackers.

It's 'too hot to go out' and you're making soup?? :) -- nm - Meg Jun 18, 15:36 3
- It's 66 degrees on the first floor. Besides, don't they say that eating hot food on a hot day cools you down? -- nm - Covington Jun 18, 15:38 2
