Saturday, March 12, 2011 - Spinach, Tomato, Orzo Soup

Recipe: http://blogs.babble.com/family-kitchen/2011/03/01/spinach-tomato-orzo-soup/


1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 lb spinach, fresh or frozen, defrosted
1 – 15 oz can diced Italian tomatoes (with oregano and basil)
1 lb package orzo pasta
2 quarts chicken or vegetable stock
2 quarts water
olive oil
Method
1. Preheat a large soup. Drizzle with olive oil. Add onions and saute until tender. Add garlic and saute for 2 – 3 minutes. Add canned tomatoes, spinach, chicken or vegetable stock and water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium.
2. Add orzo cook for 12 – 15 minutes, or until orzo is tender.



Changes:  Couldn't find orzo in Switzerland, so I just used small shell-shaped pasta.  I also added some tomato paste.

This was bland.  I would lower the amount of water and up the amount of canned tomatoes.  Also frozen spinach is bland.
