  4. Stir in orzo and chicken broth. Mix well to combine.
  5. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until orzo is al dente.

Swap coconut milk for heavy cream for a richer version
Use vegetable broth to keep it fully plant-based
Add red pepper flakes for a little heat
