To a large pot or cooking pan heat butter on low heat till melted. Increase heat to medium and brown the vegan bacon for 3-4 minutes stirring often to avoid burning. To the pot, add the onion, garlic, and thyme. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
Season with salt and pepper. Stir till everything is coated. Increase heat to high and add the orzo to the pot. Toast for 1 minute. Add the milk to the pot. Bring mixture to a boil then simmer till the orzo is cooked. Add more milk of choice is necessary.
To the pot add the chives and spinach and stir till cooked throughout.
1 minute before serving add the parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and butter!
Enjoy hot or cold!
