Step by step
Method
5 steps- 01
Heat olive oil in a saucepan and soften the leek for 3 minutes. Add garlic for 30 seconds.
- 02
Pour in stock and bring to a boil. Add orzo and cook for the time stated on the packet, stirring often.
- 03
Add beans during the final 3 minutes so they heat without breaking apart.

Turn off the heat and fold in spinach, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and dill.
- 05
Season and serve promptly, before the orzo absorbs too much broth.
Cook's notes
Make it excellent
- If holding the soup, cook the orzo separately and add it to each bowl; this keeps the broth loose.
