Place a deep pot or cast-iron skillet on the stove, and add Italian sausage, minced garlic, and diced onion.
Crush the sausage and cook until browned.
When the sausage is fully cooked and the onion is soft, add beef broth, carrot slices, celery pieces, red potato cubes, and bell pepper cubes.
Add seasonings: Italian seasoning blend, oregano, basil (as needed), salt, and pepper (adjust the salt based on the saltiness of the beef broth).
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, cook the orzo pasta in a separate pot.
Remove the beef broth pot from the heat, add the cooked orzo pasta, and stir well. Then add spinach and gently mix.
Add red pepper flakes and fresh herbs to taste, usually a generous amount of parsley is recommended.

Pay attention to the cooking time of the orzo pasta to avoid overcooking.
The saltiness of the beef broth will affect the overall seasoning of the soup, so be cautious when adding salt.
The use of fresh herbs can enhance the flavor of the soup, so it is recommended to add more.
