Ingredients

  • 16 ounce Italian sausage
  • ¾ cup chopped onions
  • ¾ cup chopped celery
  • ¾ cup peeled and chopped carrots
  • 1 cup farro
  • 8-10 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 salt You can adjust seasoning after it is almost done cooking.
  • 4 cups chopped kale

Instructions

  • Start by cooking your sausage over medium heat. Be sure to mix and break it up as it cooks.
  • While it is cooking, chop your veggies. Once the sausage has cooked for a few minutes, add in the onions, carrots, and celery.
  • Cook another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the minced garlic and cook another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the stock, herbs, garlic, salt, pepper, and farro. Mix well and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about another 20-35 minutes.
  • You will know it is done when the potatoes are tender and the farro is cooked.
  • About 5 minutes before it is done, add in your rough chop kale and cook for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
