Whole-Grain Minestrone With Parmesan Crisps

Whole-Grain Minestrone With Parmesan Crisps

Nothing says comfort food like a steamy bowl of vegetable-packed minestrone, which is made extra hearty here with whole grain farro in place of pasta and DIY parm crisps for bites of umami on every spoonful. Speaking of parm, don't throw out those rinds; you'll use one here to infuse the broth with deep flavor. As you come to the end of a wedge, stash the end in a ziptop bag in your freezer to add to a simmering soup or a batch of stock. For a gluten-free version of this soup, swap in brown rice for the farro.
