I have made this recipe about 5 times already. It’s soo easy and delicious. My husband loves it so much as well. The parmesan cheese does really complement the soup, although I have used others types of cheeses as well.
Try it, especially if you love orzo. It might end up being that dish that you run to make when you’re hungry and don’t have too much time on your hands. I add paprika, lemon pepper, basil, coarse black pepper and chili powder to it, to add even more flavor. Thank you!!

I made this tonight with the following changes: I used chicken stock instead of vegetable stock, I added more spinach and I added 4 oz. of reduced fat cream cheese. It was To.Die.For!!! The kiddo has already declared on dibs for taking it with her to school tomorrow for lunch. Can’t beat that!!!

I made this last night but added navy beans and garbanzo beans for protein. It was sooooooooooooo good! Served it with that rosemary bread…

I made this soup last night, but did it backwards. I cooked chicken breasts in a pressure cooker and made my own broth, then added the orzo and lemon zest, cooked it 15 minutes and added the spinach and lemon juice. It was wonderful sprinkled with lemon pepper. this will be a go to soup for me.

I copy recipes from Fbuzz to my files, so when I find a wonderful-looking recipe in a recipe I desire that has a list of ingredients done in the ill-conceived Initial Cap Method, I Want to Scream!!! What possesses someone to do this? It’s stupid-looking, makes NO GRAMMATICAL SENSE WHATEVER, and in fact makes YOU look like a big fool. None of the professionals do it. Hmm, I wonder why? I think they are on to something! I’ve put a fake name/email address there, by the way. I don’t need a response, but YOU need this comment. It’s a ridiculous affectation, and you only make yourself look silly.

The brand of pasta is important. I couldn’t get one of my regular brands of pasta and the texture was so bad I threw it out. Either cook the pasta separately and then drain to maintain firmness or be prepared to throw it out after 20 minutes or so. When I make soups to eat later: Pasta, rice and potatoes are cooked and stored separately–especially if I am to freeze it.

I make at least three pots of soup each week, a girl has to have something in the fridge for lunch everyday doesn’t she? I’m making this tomorrow!
