Creamy Chickpea & Farro Soup
The first month of our stay here in Umbria has been cold and wet although the weather finally seems to be taking a turn for the better and this past week we had a few gorgeous days with sunshine and temperatures in the 80′s. I do now have hope that we may end up with a nice summer! When the weather is cool and damp though, our farmhouse is not a very comfortable place to be and I have to layer up to keep warm. A nice big bowl of steaming soup is always a great way to keep warm, and I tend to make hearty bean and grain soups often during the cooler months for when we need a nice warm bowl of soup comfort.
