Supergreen Mushroom and Orzo Soup – is a flavorful comforting soup packed full of healthy green vegetables. I believe in balance and deliciousness, and this green soup really hits the spot.
The base of this recipe is a vegetable broth though you could just as easily use chicken broth. I like it with broccoli, celery, and spinach, but it works just fine with kale or collards. Don’t skip the basil pesto – it makes the soup taste fancy. This soup is a light and delicious meal for the middle of the week. This recipe is also quick and easy and puts a bowl of savory soup on your table in just 35 minutes. And if you are craving more green and healthy soups, then try our broccoli detox soup, detox immune-boosting chicken soup, or this green curry soup.
To make the Supergreen Mushroom and Orzo Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In an 8-quart pot over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1¼ cups chopped celery, 4 ounces diced shallots, 3 minced cloves garlic, and ¼ tsp kosher salt and cook, stirring, for 8 minutes or until golden.
Add in 8 cups vegetable or chicken broth and 3 cups chopped broccoli, increase heat to high and bring to a simmer. Then reduce to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
Add in 3 cups sliced spinach, 1 cup sliced white mushrooms, and 1 cup orzo and simmer for 6-8 minutes or until the orzo has softened.
Remove from heat and stir in basil pesto to taste before serving.
