This was a good use of beet greens that we had leftover from a beet salad for a potluck. We loosely followed this recipe: https://myhalalkitchen.com/summer-greens-soup-orzo-wholesome-chicken-broth/ Our modifications: first, for the greens we used: beet stems and leaves from 3 bundles of beets (about 4 cups total); stem and florets from 1 small broccoli stem; and 1 cup baby arugula. Second, we added shredded rotisserie chicken (about 1 cup), along with the leafy greens. Third, we reduced the broth to 9 cups (4 cups unsalted + 5 cups Better Than Bouillon broth) and increased the orzo to ¾ cup (this turned out to be a good ratio). Fourth, we found it a bit bland but added some fresh herbs: ½ to 1 tsp each fresh thyme, rosemary, and thyme; 2 tsp minced parsley; and 1 tsp each Aleppo pepper and ground cumin. (Nov. 2021)
