Begin by finely chopping the broccoli and shredding the carrots. Set the prepared veggies aside.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped broccoli, shredded carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

Pour in the orzo along with the chicken broth, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to cook for 10-15 minutes until the orzo is tender.

After cooking, remove from heat and stir in the cream cheese and grated parmesan until smooth and creamy.

Let the creamy Veggie Orzo cool slightly before serving. It pairs well with grilled chicken or fish.
