- Sea salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add onion & sauté until soft. Add carrots, celery & garlic and sauté until garlic is fragrant.
- Add stock, tomatoes, orzo & spices. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Add sea salt & pepper, to taste.

- When ready to serve, ladle a portion in a bowl and add spinach on top and gently stir in. I always add the spinach into each individual serving so it stays fresh & bright.
