Italian Wedding Soup (Greens)

2 cups water or broth
1/3 cup orzo
1/3 cup chopped carrots
large handfuls of kale (or spinach, or chard...), roughly chopped into small pieces
meatballs/veggie meatballs, however many you like
salt and pepper to taste

Bring the water/broth to a boil. Add the orzo, carrots, greens and meatballs. Reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the greens have wilted and the meatballs are heated through. Taste, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Note - this soup can absorb a lot of greens. Feel free to add a handful, let it wilt, and then add more until you feel there is enough in the soup.
