Soups are one of my favorite ways to get in lots of veggies at once, and this orzo soup is a perfect example of that! It's made with a mirepoix of celery, carrots and onion and then handful of kale which wilt down when added to the soup. I also included chickpeas for a little protein and extra fiber. The key to this delicious savory broth is the juice of 1 lemon and a parmesan rind. It's light and refreshing but also rich and flavorful!
