Provided by á-1968

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
2/3 cup(s) uncooked orzo
1 large uncooked carrot(s), diced
1 1/2 cup(s) uncooked asparagus, sliced diagonally in bite-size pieces
1 cup(s) frozen green peas
4 medium uncooked scallion(s), sliced
1/3 cup(s) dill, fresh, chopped
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste

Steps:

1. Bring broth to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. 2. Add orzo and carrots; boil 7 minutes. 3. Add asparagus and frozen peas; boil until orzo and vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. 4. Remove from heat; stir in scallions, dill, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Yields about 1 cup per serving. Notes A few handfuls of fresh baby spinach stirred in at the end of cooking would be a nice addition to this soup. Change up the flavor by substituting fresh parsley for the dill and serving sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese (could affect PointsPlus value).
