The balance between meat, whole grains (orzo), and vegetables (spinach) makes for a well-rounded, soul satisfying meal. Try using leftover Turkey or chicken in place of the meatballs! Lemon Orzo Soup Notes: Using only ground chicken for meatballs tends to make them a little dry because they lack the fat of pork or beef meat. But, this makes them perfect for soup and as long as you don't overcook them you can also use them for a great red or white pasta sauce. Remove the lid, tip in the orzo, stir gently and turn up the heat to bring back to a bubble.
