The flavor is great! The method however needs some tweaking. Carrots take much longer to soften than a couple of mins. I suggest sauteing them on med-low heat for at least 6-8 mins on their own before adding the scallions and garlic. Then add the broth and simmer for 5-6 mins before adding the orzo, and continue simmering til orzo is done. Finally, add the spinach and stir til softened. Tip: if you are making the soup ahead of time, undercook the orzo slightly. Makes a nice, healthy lunch! So yummy! I'm definitely making this again!
Good, fast, easy and low in calories. I used fresh spinach, increased the carrots and added about 1 tsp. of sugar, 1/2 tsp. of vinegar and 1/4 tsp. of thyme leaves. Will make again for sure.
Everyone liked it I will make it again.
I made it exactly the way it is written and it turned out great! VERY flavorful and easy. Thank you so much for the recipe.
A new favorite in my house! I made this recipe two nights in a row! Absolutely delicious and so healthy.
This was easy and very good. I did add some shredded chicken and a small chopped tomato. I used fresh spinach, just took the stems off and chopped it up. Will make again for sure.
This amazingly easy soup can be made even easier when using mostly all frozen ingredients. I was skeptical that it would have any flavor because the only spices listed are salt and pepper but the flavor is perfect—it must be the combination of onions and chicken broth. I make my own veggie broth and used that, adding chicken bouillon instead of salt. I've made this soup twice this week, the first time I subbed onion powder for scallions because I didn't have any. Overall, a great tasting soup that is easy, quick, and filling.
This is a delicious and deceptively light soup that is filling and satisfying. A baguette on the side with butter (and a little Camembert) make a delightful lunch or late night dinner that's easy on the digestion of fussy tummies. Always nice to find a soup recipe that skips the tomato base. Even nicer to find a soup that accommodates additional vegetables, like a celery stick or two, or some chopped summer squash (yellow or green). I brighten all soups with a t. of fresh lemon juice, and I did this one. Some might like to "dress up" the presentation with a topping of chopped chives, or finely chopped, or scallion (green onion), even shavings of Parm or Romano cheese.
This is a great tasting soup! I kept to the recipe except I cooked some whole-wheat elbow macaroni seperately, and added it in at the end. And I sprinked some crushed red pepper on it. Easy to cook, nutricious, and delicious!
