 with another 2 cups water, and bring to a boil.

 Once the mixture is boiling, add the chickpeas, tomatoes
 and orzo. Reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid.
 Simmer 10 minutes, or until the orzo is tender. Uncover
 and stir in the greens, letting them simmer until soft,
 about 2 minutes.

 Add more water if you want the mixture to be more
 souplike, and season with salt and pepper. Ladle into
 bowls and top with chopped scallions (if desired),
 grated cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
