Chickpea, Porcini and Farro Soup

Tuscany is filled with treasures of all kinds-art, architecture, food-and this is one of them. Every ingredient in this warming soup represents the region, from the beans and fresh herbs to the farro and porcini mushrooms. This hearty recipe illustrates the timeless appeal of regional peasant cooking, the source of many traditional Tuscan soups and other dishes. For the most authentic pairing, serve with a Chianti Classico.
