2 to 3 cloves garlic minced
1 cup orzo pasta

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake the Rosina Foods Italian Style Meatballs according to package instructions. When finished, remove from oven and set aside. (While the meatballs are baking in the oven, proceed with the soup).
For the soup: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat and add in the diced onions, celery and carrots. Sauté for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and the 1 cup of dry orzo stir together for just a few minutes.
Pour in the chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and turn down the heat to medium and let cook for about 7 minutes. Lower to a simmer and add in the baby kale and the cooked Rosina Foods Italian Style Meatballs. Mix together, turn off the heat and place the lid on for just a few minutes. Remove lid, stir, taste and season lightly with more salt and pepper if needed. Divide into bowls, garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and some fresh dill and enjoy!
