Love this soup – it takes me back to Greece! (Not a huge thyme fan though so I only put in half and added some oregano.)

I used 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, instead of red pepper flakes. The heat was still there but it was subtle and even, so it might be a good alternative for someone who does not like too much heat. My 4 and 1 y.o. kids loved it, so I will make it again sometime. I served mine with chicken tenders (their favorite) and a mixed green salad.

I was excited about this soup because if the rave reviews but felt like the end result was very blah. I used about 10 times more spinach than the recipe called for but it still got lost in all the orzo and broth. When i looked at the leftovers the next day it was no longer soup at all! The orzo expanded like crazy over night and sucked up all the broth! Anyway, there just wasn’t enough flavor to make this again.

So delicious! The red pepper was pretty strong and I can’t handle much spice but I ate it all anyway.

It was good and I loved the kick it had to it, but I’m not sure it was my favorite. I really enjoy spinach but I didn’t like what it added to the dish. I think I would make it without the spinach next time.

Super easy and yummy!! The spice was perfect for me, but my mother-in-law couldn’t eat it because it was too spicy, so if you’re serving it to guests, you probably want to cut it in half and provide extra at the table.

I made this when I had a cold because it was light and full of great cold fighting ingredients. It was so delicious, a perfect remedy!

This was very good. I think next time though I will use more stock or less orzo because the orzo absorbed much of the stock. Very nice taste though, I will make it again.
