2 cups of Chicken or vegetable broth
8 oz of Cream cheese
1 cup of Shredded cheddar cheese
3 minced Garlic cloves
1 diced Onion
2 cups of fresh Spinach
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Bring the broth to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Once boiling, add the orzo pasta and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 2: While the orzo is cooking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: Once the orzo is cooked and drained, add it to the skillet with the sautéed onion and garlic. Stir to combine, then incorporate the cream cheese, allowing it to melt through.
Step 4: Fold in the fresh spinach, letting it wilt slightly before adding the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and everything is incorporated.
Step 5: Serve hot in bowls, garnished with additional cheese or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs.
