Instructions

In a large frying pan over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain any excess fat and transfer the beef to the slow cooker insert.
Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato soup, beef consommé, onion, garlic, basil, thyme, oregano, beef stock cube, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker. Stir to combine, cover with the lid, and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low.
During the last 15-20 minutes of cooking, stir in the orzo. Replace the lid and cook until orzo is tender. Finally, stir in the spinach and let the soup stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
You can substitute the orzo with other pasta types if desired.
For a creamier soup, add more ricotta cheese before serving.
