Ingredients

    7 cups vegetable broth
    1 1/2 cups whole wheat orzo (or other small pasta i.e. pastina)
    2 cups chard or spinach, chopped
    1 14-ounce can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes, well drained
    1 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
    good quality extra virgin olive oil
    3 egg whites
    fine grain sea salt

    some grated Parmesan cheese (to finish)

Directions

Bring the broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the orzo and cook until just tender - about ten minutes. Stir in the chopped spinach.

In the meantime, heat the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and a splash of extra virgin olive oil in a separate saucepan. Taste, and salt a bit if needed.

Just before serving, Slowly pour the egg whites into the soup, stirring quickly with a whisk. The whites should take on a raggy appearance. Taste and add more salt if needed. Serve the soup in individual bowls, with each serving topped with a generous spoonful of tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, and dusting of cheese.

    Incredible!
    Used the smoked paprika in the tomatoes and it was divine. Didn't drain the tomatoes, still tasted great. - 3/17/11
