Spring Vegetable Soup With Orzo Recipe 435

VEGETABLE ORZO SOUP

ONE POT VEGETABLE ORZO SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Dice the carrots, celery & onion. Heat a large Dutch Oven over medium heat. When it is good & hot, add the olive oil.
• Then add the carrots, celery, onion and the spices - Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
• Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add in the garlic & 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.
• Next add the pasta and give everything a good stir, scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen the brown bits. Pour 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.
• 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.

SUMMER ORZO SOUP

Steps:

• Peel and finely dice one onion and garlic cloves. Peel and slice a carrot. Wash and slice zucchini and chard leaves.
• In a pot heat olive oil to medium. Add chopped onions and lightly fry until translucent, stirring regularly so as not to burn the onion. Then, add garlic and carrots. Stir well and pour in your stock and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, so that the carrots tenderize.
• Add orzo pasta, peas and zucchini, season with salt & pepper to taste and let it cook for another 10 minutes until the orzo is cooked al dente.
• When the orzo is almost done, fold in your sliced chard and chopped parsley, then serve hot.
• Note: If the soup is too thick, add some hot water.
