Ingredients

2 ½ tablespoons butter
½ cup chopped carrots
½ cup chopped scallions
1 clove garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
½ cup orzo
1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Melt butter in a stockpot over medium heat. Add carrots, scallions, and garlic; cook and stir until scallions are soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth; bring to a boil.
Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in spinach; cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips

Use margarine in place of butter, if desired.

Use any small pasta shape or rice instead of orzo, if desired.
