A simple Italian soup that is light yet filling. Add tiny meatballs and you've got Italian Wedding Broth.

  • Parmesan cheese
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly cracked pepper
  • Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

  1. In a medium sized saucepan, bring chicken broth and water to a boil. Stir in orzo and frozen spinach. Cook for 9 minutes until pasta and spinach is tender.
  2. Turn heat down to low. Slowly add beaten egg, in a steady stream, stirring constantly. 
  3. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Serve with Parmesan cheese to stir into soup, and warm bread and butter.
