I have made this soup twice. Both times I used chickpeas instead of the beans and one time I used basmati rice instead of the orzo. The rice was my favorite. This soup is so delicious!!!!

Love this recipe, I’ve made it now a couple of times. Its a great “in between seasons” soup. Its spring here but still cool with the winds, and this is lighter than some of my hearty winter soups, but does the trick. In addition to the 4 cups of veg broth, I end up adding 1-2cups of water from the boiled kettle to keep it liquid enough as a soup, once the orzo and spinach are fully cooked and expanded. Then add a bit more seasoning salt, pepper and lemon as needed. The fresh HERBS as garnish (I used both dill and flat parsley) put this soup over the top. Not just a pop of colour, they really add to the flavour, do not skip the dill and parsley. YUM.

I love this soup; I’ve made it every week since I found the recipe (a couple of months?). I have made some changes to the original. I replaced the celery with mushrooms; I substituted 2 cups of the broth with water; & I use escarole instead of spinach, adding it at the same time as the liquid, beans, & orzo. The lemon juice at the end brightens everything up.

I make a lot of soups. This one is particularly tasty so I will be sure to save this recipe. I used a whole 15oz can of rinsed white cannellini beans and about 2-3T of dill.
