Healthy Farro Soup by F.I.G.
On this rainy day there is only one thing on my mind... Netflix and chill. Yes, I know you might be thinking staying in on a Saturday? Probably. It's been a long week of work for GIN and I have a few new books on my to read list and might start a new Netflix series. Definitely will have to stop and get myself some soup or might get creative and prepare one of F.I.G.'s delicious recipes.
Until my next topic...

Hi Everyone!
Hope everyone had a great week! When I got home from class a few weeks ago I realized I didn’t have much in my fridge. Not having a lot to work with, I pulled some ingredients from my fridge and pantry and created a yummy and healthy farro soup!
This next recipe is one that turned out to be really yummy and comforting, and I used what I had around! I hope you enjoy my easy & healthy faro soup.
