Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, diced carrot, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
If using raw chicken, add cubed pieces to the pot and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned. If using cooked chicken, skip this step.
Stir in diced tomatoes and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes.
In another pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add orzo pasta and cook until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Once the soup has simmered, stir in the cooked orzo and spinach or kale, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.
