Did this with the green onions and baby spinach, approximately 1 tsp of fresh ground black pepper and 3/4 tsp of kosher salt. Used homemade chicken broth for cooking orzo, seems weird to drain all that chicken broth away but saved some for the old finicky kitty who seems interested at the moment.
Fantastic soup, I had everything on hand except I had to use red lentils instead of brown, and ground ginger instead of fresh. Used 28oz diced tomatoes and 4c vegetable broth instead of the 14oz and 6c.
