Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup uncooked spelt ( farro , about 6 oz)
1 tbsp extravirgin olive oil
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped carrot (about 1 small)
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
3 oz pancetta, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
5 cups fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups bottled chestnuts, halved
1 cup diced peeled butternut squash
1 cup quartered brussels sprouts (about 5 oz)
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 oz shaved pecorino romano cheese

Directions:

Place spelt in a large saucepan. Cover with water to 2 inches above spelt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until tender. Drain; set aside.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, pancetta, and garlic; sauté 8 minutes or until mixture is very fragrant and beginning to brown. Stir in broth and wine, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add chestnuts, squash, Brussels sprouts, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Stir in spelt and tomatoes; cover and cook 10 minutes. Ladle about 1 cup soup into each of 6 bowls; sprinkle evenly with cheese.
