Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add farro; gently boil until al dente or as tender as you like (this may take 20 to 30 minutes); drain. (Make-ahead: Spread out on a baking sheet to cool and stir in a little olive oil. Pack into a container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.)
- Meanwhile, wash kale, trim stems and slice out ribs; stack leaves and cut into small pieces. Using a mortar and pestle, crush fennel seeds.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic; season with fennel seeds, salt and pepper. Sauté just until softened, about 5 minutes. Add kale in batches, stirring to coat with oil (add a few splashes of water, if needed). Cover and sauté for 5 minutes. Remove to a small bowl and cover to keep warm.
- Reheat soup. Divide among bowls and top with farro, kale and chicken. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
