I started to make my Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup. Then I decided I wanted make it a little heartier by adding some orzo. Because I added a full package of orzo it soaked up the liquid and turned my Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup into Slow Cooker Vegetable Orzo. So easy to make and very tasty.
- 5 oz fresh baby spinach
- 2 medium carrots, peeled, diced
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 1 onion, large, diced
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 4 c vegetable broth
- 28 oz diced tomatoes, canned
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tbsp basil, dried
- 1 tsp oregano, dried
- 12 oz orzo (gluten-free)
Place ingredients in a slow cooker and stir. Cover and cook on high power for 5 hours. After 3-4 hours add the orzo. Stir orzo thoroughly. Stir all of the ingredients occasionally.
