Spicy Chicken & Farro Soup

With a new year at hand and a resolution to cook more things out of my comfort zone I decided to try a new soup! With the spicy taste and the sweet smells I think this one is a keeper!

Start out by adding two cups of water to a saucepan 

Add in 1 cup of farro

With a little salt for flavor. Bring to a boil.

Now add about 1/4 cup olive oil to a large pot over medium heat

Chop up 1 carrot

Once your water is boiling cover and reduce the heat

Now chop up one onion

Add the carrots and onions to the pan with oil. Give it a stir.

Add in 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin...

1 teaspoon paprika...

1/4 teaspoon tumeric

And 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Stir it all together

Crack in some black pepper

And some salt to taste

Now chop up about 1/4 cup or so of fresh parsley

To the pot add in 3 cups of water

3 cups of chicken broth...

And finally the parsley. Give it a stir

To a bowl add 1 teaspoon of coriander and crush it up

Throw it into the pot

Once your farro is done add in a cup. Stir and cover. Bring to a simmer.

While you wait for the soup to simmer cube a chicken breast

Throw it in a medium high heat pan with olive oil and black pepper

And a little garlic salt to taste

Once the chicken is browned and cooked through, add it into the pot. Cover and leave on low until ready to serve. Enjoy!!
