Orzo white bean soup, gf


 A fast tasty soup!!


Ingredients:


1 medium onion diced

3 cloves garlic minced

1/2 teaspoon or up to 1 tsp basil (dried)

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

4 cups vegetable stock or broth

2 bay leaves

1 cup of uncooked orzo pasta (I used a gf one)

1 cup water

2 cups of baby spinach (I just used about a cup of frozen chopped spinach)

1 can white northern beans drained and rinsed

juice of one lemon

chopped fresh parsley to use when serving if desired

salt and pepper to taste


Directions


Place a bit of broth in big soup pot. Add onion and garlic and simmer about 4 minutes until getting tender. Add the thyme and basil and simmer a minute more.

Add the vegetable stock or broth, the bay leaves and 1 cup water. Add orzo. Bring to a boil and then simmer about 9 minutes, add the spinach and simmer another 3-4 minutes until the orzo and spinach is done. If using frozen spinach I add earlier than fresh.

Add beans. Heat through.

Stir in lemon, parsley and season with salt and pepper.

Below is the Gluten Free Orzo I use from Amazon.
