Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook 1.5 cups farro in 3 cups vegetable broth according to package directions until tender. Drain and set aside.

Whisk in the 3 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to form a roux.

Gradually whisk in the 2 cups milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
