FOR THE SOUP:
Heat the oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the carrot, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes or until garlic becomes fragrant and onion begins to soften.
Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the orzo and meatballs, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until orzo is cooked but still slightly firm, about 8 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
