Method

Soup Preparation

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.

Add the Broth

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

Add the Orzo

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

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.

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.

Finish with Cheese

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

Serve

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