Tips & Tricks (5)
- Orzo Texture Mastery 🍝Rinse orzo before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent clumping, ensuring a perfectly separated texture in your soup.
- Vegetable Cutting Technique 🔪Cut vegetables into uniform 1/2-inch pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent bite throughout the soup.
- Flavor Layering Trick 🧄Toast garlic and Greek seasoning in olive oil for 30 seconds before adding other ingredients to intensify the Mediterranean flavor profile.
- Instant Pot Liquid Balance 💧Always ensure there's enough liquid (broth) to cover vegetables and orzo, preventing burning and creating a perfect soup consistency.
- Fresh Spinach Finale 🍃Add baby spinach at the very end of cooking to preserve its vibrant color, nutrients, and prevent wilting into a mushy texture.
