Step 1
Dice onion and carrot. Mince garlic. Dice potato in small bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion and carrot for 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for oil-free sauté method, adding more as needed.)
Step 3
When onion is soft, add garlic, potato, peas, corn, and Italian seasoning. Stir and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add broth and tomatoes. Bring to a light boil. Then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add orzo. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring often. (I find orzo has a tendency to stick to the bottom so it's best to stir often.) When orzo is just tender, turn off heat.
Step 6
Stir in apple cider vinegar and fresh parsley. Serve with salt & pepper to taste if needed. (Be aware the soup continues to thicken as it sits and the orzo soaks up more broth. It's best not to overcook the orzo.)
