For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the soup after the spinach has wilted. Other pasta shapes, such as ditalini or small shells, can be substituted for orzo. To make this soup vegetarian or vegan, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth and omit the Parmesan cheese garnish.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a stockpot or large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. (1 minute)
