- Add garlic and sweet potatoes, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add bay leaves, beans, farro, vegetable broth, water, tomato sauce, salt, and Italian seasoning.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes and farro are cooked through.

- Serve with crusty bread if you would like. Enjoy!
