A comforting Orzo Soup filled with tender orzo pasta and fresh vegetables, perfect for warming you up on chilly days.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1 medium-sized onion, diced
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 1 large celery rib, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil or dried thyme
  • 2 teaspoons flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons salt, or to taste
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables: In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Add garlic and herbs: Stir in the minced garlic along with your choice of dried basil or thyme and the flour. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and the flour is thoroughly combined with the veggies.
  3. Pour in the broth: Add the vegetable broth and salt (if the broth isn’t already salty). Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Simmer the soup: Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes, covered to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  5. Cook the orzo: Add the orzo pasta to the pot and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the orzo is al dente. Make sure to stir occasionally as it cooks.
  6. Finishing touches: Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
  7. Serve: Divide the soup into bowls. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and serve it alongside some crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

Feel free to customize with additional vegetables or proteins. Best served with crusty bread.
