orzo soup

Vegetable Orzo Soup&nbsp;a delicious soup made vegetables and everyday ingredients. These easy flavors come together in a snap and it's a healthy meal packed full of flavor!

Vegetable Orzo Soup

carrots

celery

yellow onion

spinach

garlic

14.5 oz can fire roasted tomatoes

orzo pasta

stock

water

olive oil

italian seasoning

salt

pepper

red pepper flakes

lemon ((optional))

parsley minced ((optional))

Dice the carrots, celery &amp; onion. Heat a large stockpot over medium heat. When it is good &amp; hot, add the olive oil.&nbsp;

Then add the carrots, celery, onion and the spices - Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.&nbsp;

Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add in the garlic &amp; sauté for about another minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Run your knife thru the spinach a couple times, chopping it into bite sized pieces. Add it to the soup pot.&nbsp;

Next add the pasta and give everything a good stir. Poor in the tomatoes, stock and water. Increase the heat to high and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium - you'll still want to keep it a light bubble and cook until the orzo is cooked thru - about 8-9 minutes.&nbsp;

Continue to stir the soup often. The orzo has a tendency to stick to the bottom of the pan. In addition, stirring it will release the starches in the pasta and help to thicken the soup.

When the orzo is cooked, remove the soup from the heat. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and about a tablespoon of chopped parsley for bright fresh flavor.

Warm and cozy, creamy turkey orzo soup is wholesome, hearty, filling, and flavourful. Make this delicious one pot meal with leftover turkey in 30 minutes.

cloves garlic, minced

Italian seasoning

salt (or

orzo

cup heavy cream

Heat olive oil in a 4 qt Dutch oven or medium cooking pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery, and carrots, and sauté until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for one minute.

Add flour and cook for one minute, continuously stirring. Then, add one cup of chicken stock and stir until flour is dissolved. Add remaining stock, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

Stir in turkey and orzo and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes, until orzo is cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent the orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Remove from heat and stir in the cream until fully incorporated. Add spinach and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper as needed, to taste. Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (if desired).

This looks so wonderful and perfect for a fall supper! I love the flavor combination here and will probably be adding extra lemon wedges since we love that tartness it brings to the soup! Great tip about using rotisserie chicken!

This is one of my go to meals now! I love the herby freshness of it! Its filling but not too much. Its been a huge hit with everyone I make it for. They call it grown up chicken noodle soup haha

Comforting 15-minute lemon orzo soup recipe with pesto!  You can also make this orzo soup your own by adding other vegetables or throwing in shredded cooked chicken for a mean chicken orzo soup. If you don&#039;t have orzo, another tiny pasta or pearl couscous will work.

Orzo soup loaded with flavor thanks to two secret ingredients: basil pesto and lemon juice.

Greek Tomato Feta Soup is an easy vegetarian recipe packed with the flavors of the Mediterranean. Made with juicy tomatoes, creamy feta, tender orzo pasta, and a light chili kick.

Greek Tomato Feta Soup

feta cheese small cubed

red wine vinegar

Heat a 5- quart dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add in the vegetable broth, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

Add in the orzo pasta and tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.

Remove the pot from the heat and add in the cubed feta cheese and red wine vinegar. Stir to combine. Adjust seasonings if necessary.

The first time I made it, I subbed chicken broth and added red wine vinegar at the end. I thought eh, it was ok. I decided to make it again with the orzo I had leftover from the first time, and added lemon juice at the end. Amazing!  To make a long story shorter, I have made the recipe about 6 times now. Im obsessed with it too! 
I love the simplicity and the tanginess and nearly meltiness of the feta.  It comes together so quickly and effortlessly! Thank you for this!

Tomato Orzo Soup with Spinach (Easy!)

tomato paste

basil, black pepper, fresh lemon juice, etc.

Vegan Parmesan Cheese

In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for about 7-8 minutes. (I use about 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)

Meanwhile, mince garlic.

When onion is translucent, add garlic, dried basil, and salt. Stir and sauté for 1 minute.

Then add vegetable broth, diced tomatoes with juices, and tomato paste.

Cover and bring to a light boil.

When lightly boiling, add orzo. Stir, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until orzo is just cooked. (Take care not to overcook it.) Stir occasionally as orzo has a tendency to stick to the bottom.

Roughly chop spinach and stir in during the last couple minutes of cooking.

Serve with fresh julienned basil and vegan parmesan if desired.

I love this recipe! I make this a lot when friends come over because it's vegan and corn free, so everyone can eat it. So tasty too! I always add more garlic and if I'm making a large batch for myself for multiple days I substitute the spinach for zucchini, since the spinach gets a little gross after sitting. I also add about a half a tablespoon of spicy Mrs. Dash just to give it a kick. Thanks so much for sharing!
