I made this with 1 cup of orzo and one can of chickpeas. I reduced the turmeric to .5 tbs, but I think one tbs will be great next time. Finally, I had to use 5oz of frozen spinach that I thawed and pressed. Even though I made these changes because of what I had in my pantry, this was absolutely amazing. Crushing some of the beans made the soup so nutty and delicious, and the acid from the lemon took it to the next level. I finished it with crushed aleppo chilis. Please make this, your body will thank you. I’m looking forward to making this again and again.

Made in instant pot. I added celery and mushroom and didn’t have orzo and added vermicelli after pressure cooking a few minutes. Served with grated parm and crusty sourdough bread. Delicious and such a hearty and heartwarming soup! A new fave in our house!

So glad you liked it! Love the idea of using curry powder in this. And cauliflower would also be delicious!

Loved! Quick, easy, healthy – will definitely make again. Used half turmeric and half curry powder (needed to use some up), all the broth plus a can of coconut milk, regular orzo cuz it’s what I had. Didn’t have fresh cilantro or parsley on hand. Might try including cauliflower too next time to add more veg. Very yummy – thank you!

Yes I almost always give my spinach, even my baby spinach, a bit of a chop so the pieces are smaller. Thanks for the tip, and so glad you liked it!

So glad you liked it, and thanks for sharing what you did with the barley! I adore barley; I think I’ll use that the next time I make this soup!

Thanks Elizabeth! The recipe was delicious! I used barley instead of orzo so I added 1/2 can of coconut milk halfway through for the extra liquid and cooked longer, otherwise i made it as written. I will definitely make it again. Love the lemon!
