Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 7 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can white beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 lemons juiced
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • ¼ cup fresh dill chopped
  • 1 cup orzo
  • 1 handful kale chopped or torn

  • 1 tsp turmeric

Instructions

  • In a pot over medium heat, add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and oregano. Sauté until softened, approximately 5 minutes. 
  • Add the vegetable broth, drained and rinsed can of beans, lemon juice and lemon zest to the pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes covered.
  • Stir in fresh dill and orzo and cook for another 10 minutes until the orzo is cooked through, keeping the lid off and stirring intermittently to prevent the orzo from sticking.
