2.5 tablespoons butter
0.5 cup chopped carrots
0.5 cup chopped scallions
1 clove garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
0.5 cup orzo
1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach, chopped

Instructions

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots, scallions, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the scallions soften, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Add the orzo pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts and becomes tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
