How to Make this Spicy Soyrizo & Orzo Skillet
Melt the vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion & soyrizo and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the orzo & tomato paste and toss to combine.
Pour in the broth, dry seasonings & corn. Bring to a boil, lower heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the lid, pour in the non-dairy cream and the spinach. Stir to combine and simmer, uncovered, for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed – I didn’t need to add salt, but this will depend on the broth you use.

When it comes to serving, I added some chili onion crunch oil. It adds some spice and a little crunch. Its not necessary, but it is totally tasty!
This is delicious served hot, right out of the skillet. But the leftovers are even better. So, if you have any leftover, get excited for the best lunch ever the next day!
