Using spatula scrape bottom of bowl add bacon and farrow 5mins 100 degrees
"Counter-clockwise operation" speed1
Add all other ingredients except salt and pepper 30 mins 100 degrees"Counter-clockwise operation" speed 1. We like our veges a little crunchy so you may wish to add 5 minutes or cut veg smaller .
season to taste and place in Thermoserver until ready to serve .
This recipe is inspired by what I had left in my fridge and some of my fave ingredients . You could substitue farro or veg for whats in your cupobaord /fridge
Tip
Some times we rush our cooking to save time . This recipe benefits from the extra time to cook off onion and leek and the full time to really work the flavours and cook the farrow
Use whole tinned tomatoes and roughly chop in the tin . The cooking prcess will break them down and you know you have the whole tomatoes not just bits and pieces
You can use any type of chilli powder though we love the mexican taste
Dress with your favourite herbs for more flavour

BeesAreCool: correctly spelt Farro . You can use your grain of choice
Farro is a food composed of the grains of certain wheat species, sold dried and prepared by cooking in water until soft, but still crunchy. People eat it plain, and often use it as an ingredient in salads, soups, and other dishes. Wikipedia
As I have said above I use what I have in the house saving the dreaded trip to the shops . Apologies for very late reply thank you for helping
JENNIGRANDMA: Thanyou yes a typo for farro . Pearl barley would work fine . A lot of my recipes are using up what's in cupboard so you choose your grain you like . Apologies for very late reply
Dear BeesAreCool,
Sorry you had to wait so long for an answer. I was searching for a bacon and tomato soup and came upon this.
Thermonut has written farrow at least 5 times in the recipie, so it is not a typo. But according to all accounts this is the giving birth to a litter of pigs, so not applicable.
Further research found that there is a grain, wheat like in apprearance and thought to be part of the spelt wheat species, but it is spelt FARRO.
May I suggest that Thermonut has used this grain in the soup. I have never heard of this grain in Australia, so would maybe substitute it for barley?

What on earth is farrow??
