Here's a versatile soup that works as an appetizer or as a side for a sandwich lunch. It's loaded with mushrooms and orzo pasta—and lemon livens up its mild flavor.&mdash;Edrie O'Brien, Denver, Colorado

In a small saucepan, saute mushrooms and onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the broth, parsley, thyme and pepper.

Bring to a boil. Stir in orzo, and lemon juice and zest. Cook until pasta is tender, 5-6 minutes.

We love mushrooms so I added more than called for and used sautéed white onions since I didn't have green onions. I also doubled the recipe and added a extra cup of chicken broth because I thought it needed more broth. It turned out great and will make this again.

Very good! I felt like it needed more broth, so I added a little extra. Overall, it tasted great!

Absolutely delicious soup that I can’t wait to make again! I added kosher salt to taste, didn’t use the parsley, and added a splash of heavy cream. The recipe is solid and a keeper.

I make this for my wife and mother-in-law whenever theyre not feeling good. I always add in some veggies like carrots and celery for a nutrient boost. And they always come out feeling better after eating it.

This had lots of flavor, I used home made broth, and it was great.  Do not add the orzo any earlier than stated or it will swell  too much.

We love orzo and mushroom so how could we not enjoy. The lemon zest and fresh lemon juice add a more delicate flavor which adds to all else. I omitted the parsley and thyme just not to my taste. We will definitely make again and again. I increased quantities to six servings and only wanted to have left overs so we'll have to make again real soon. Used baby portabellas sliced.

We also love mushrooms and orzo pasta, but in our case the lemon did not work for us

This is a flavorful soup that is great with a sandwich.
