Chicken Soup with White Beans, Farro, and Escarole

Scott Phillips

Servings:6-8

This Italian take on chicken noodle soup is hearty, earthy, and delicious. Chock full of farro and beans, it feels more stew-like and less brothy.

Preparation

  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large (at least 8-quart), heavy-duty pot or Dutch oven. Add the fennel, leek, and 1/2 Tbs. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned in places, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the rosemary and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
  • Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are completely tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Stir in the shredded chicken, farro, beans, and escarole. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until all are tender and the flavors meld, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir in 1 tsp. of the vinegar. Taste, and add more vinegar 1 tsp. at a time up to 2 Tbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish each bowl with a 1 Tbs. of the grated cheese, if you like.

Tip

If you made the chicken broth yourself, use the cooked meat from that bird; otherwise you can use the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken.

    This is delicious, easy and healthy! I undercooked the farro a bit so that it would not be mushy in the soup. A great change up from my regular chicken soup.

    I'm not into beans but this one is not bad at all. I love it! Will definitely add this to my list. Most on the list I've found at chickenbrothrecipes.com.

    Fabulous! and healthy! I used rotisserie chicken and Whole Foods did not have escarole so I substituted Frisee (their recommendation) and it was delicious! Great flavor. I had never cooked Farro before and it definitely took near to an hour but is a great healthy addition to the soup. FC does it again!
