fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Stir in the garlic and Swiss chard stems. Cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, farro, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25 minutes.

Rinse the farro well before adding it so the broth stays clear. If you make the soup ahead, the farro will absorb liquid, so add a splash of broth when reheating. Swiss chard stems need the longer cook time with the base vegetables while the leaves go in at the end to keep their color and texture.
