Orzo kale soup is a flavorful, nutritious dish that combines the tenderness of orzo pasta with the hearty, slightly bitter taste of kale, all simmered together in a savory broth. A base of sauteed onions, garlic, and carrots creates a sweet and savory foundation. Tomatoes and white beans are combined with the base and then orzo pasta is added to soak up the rich, seasoned broth. Finally, kale is added and softens as it cooks. This soup is perfect for a cozy meal, offering both warmth and nourishment.
**Once finished cooking, pour soup into a blender or use an immersion blender to puree to IDDSI Level 4 (Pureed) or add extra vegetable stock & puree for IDDSI Level 3 (Moderately Thick).

Editor’s Tip: For easier consumption, cut vegetables into smaller than bite size pieces. If you never had orzo before, it will expand a bit when cooked and is slightly bigger than cooked rice grains but not as soft. If you are not sure you will be able to swallow the orzo, cook a little to test it out. If you find it difficult to to eat, break the orzo in half before adding into the soup.
