Begin by chopping the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets and finely shredding the carrots to ensure a toddler-friendly texture. Set aside the prepared vegetables in a bowl.

In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the chopped broccoli, shredded carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté the mixture for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.

Stir in the orzo and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

When the orzo is tender and most of the broth is absorbed, stir in the cream cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until both cheeses melt into the orzo.

Allow the creamy Veggie Orzo to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm.
