ONE POT VEGETABLE ORZO SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Dice the carrots, celery & onion. Heat a large Dutch Oven over medium heat. When it is good & hot, add the olive oil.
• Then add the carrots, celery, onion and the spices - Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
• Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add in the garlic & sauté for about another minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
• Run your knife thru the spinach a couple times, chopping it into bite sized pieces. Add it to the soup pot.
• Next add the pasta and give everything a good stir, scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen the brown bits. Pour in the tomatoes, stock and water.
• Increase the heat to high and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium - you'll still want to keep it a light bubble and cook until the orzo is cooked thru - about 8-9 minutes.
• Continue to stir the soup often. The orzo has a tendency to stick to the bottom of the pan. In addition, stirring it will release the starches in the pasta and help to thicken the soup.
• When the orzo is cooked, remove the soup from the heat. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and about a tablespoon of chopped parsley for bright fresh flavor.

ITALIAN ORZO SPINACH SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots and celery and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add stock, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the broth reaches a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low to maintain the simmer.
• Stir in the orzo until combined. Cover the pot with a lid and continue simmering the soup, stirring occasionally so that the orzo doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot, until the orzo is just barely al dente. (Try to avoid overcooking the orzo!)
• Stir the spinach into the soup. Taste and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
• Serve immediately, garnished with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
