Orzo-White Bean Soup with Kale

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 onion, cut into small dice

  • 1 celery stalk, cut into small dice

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary

  • 1 cup orzo

  • 1 quart chicken or vegetable broth

  • 1 can white beans, drained

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan or a small Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery; cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes.

  2. Stir in rosemary and orzo to coat; add broth and beans and bring to a simmer.
