1 pound chicken or pork Italian sausage, removed from casings
1 onion, cut into medium dice
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 cup farro
1 quart chicken broth
1 can (15 ounces) pure pumpkin
1 pound frozen chopped kale or other hearty greens, thawed
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 teaspoons maple syrup
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat; add sausage and cook, breaking it into small bits, until it loses its raw color, just a few minutes.
Add onion; cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Add thyme, farro, and broth; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer until farro is almost tender, about 15 minutes.
Add pumpkin, greens, vinegar and maple syrup; return to a simmer and cook to blend flavor, about 5 minutes longer. Serve!
