Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon - olive oil
  • 1 - yellow onion
  • 2 - carrots
  • 1 stalk - celery
  • 4 cloves - garlic
  • 6 cup - chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon - Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon - salt
  • 1 pound - boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup - farro

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sliced carrots and celery, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes more or until fragrant.
  2. Add the chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and salt (to taste). Increase the heat to medium-high to bring the soup to a boil.
  3. Add the chicken thighs (whole) and farro, submerging in the liquid. Reduce the head to low, cover, and simmer for about 20, stirring occasionally until the chicken thighs are cooked through (165°F or 73.9°C) and the farro is tender.
  4. Remove the cooked chicken thighs and shred with two forks or diced into bite-sized cubes. Return to pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
