Soup Ingredients

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 2

    Add the Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 3

    Add the Orzo

    Once boiling, add the orzo pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Meatballs

    While the orzo is cooking, prepare small meatballs using your favorite recipe or pre-made ones. You can use ground beef, pork, or turkey.

  5. 5

    Add Meatballs and Spinach

    Once the orzo is cooked, add the meatballs to the soup and let them simmer for about 5 minutes. Then stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.

  6. 6

    Finish with Cheese

    Remove the soup from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot.
