Pappa al pomodoro and farro

14 years ago
I'm in Tuscany and I just had the most wonderful soup, pappa al pomodoro (or maybe it was pappa del pomodoro, that's what I think I remember from the menu but a search found the other). It had bread to thicken it - it was very thick, not really liquid as when I cleared part of the bowl, it didn't flow in. And it had some basil, maybe some Parmesan cheese, but I had grated some on top so maybe that is what I was tasting, maybe olive oil and of course tomatoes. Does anyone have a recipe for that? I've tried googling but since I'm in Italy at the moment Google is defaulting to bring up the sites that are in Italian.
Also I bought some farro since it is typical of the region. I don't know what the cooking time and ratio of liquid to farro is. I assume that one cooks it kind of like rice.
