We loved it. I made it for dinner for my fiancée and I. There's a lot left over so I get to take some to our family :)

DELICIOUS & FLAVORFUL! I used turkey sausage and added chopped carrots, leftover penne pasta and garlic salt. I would have added zucchini but it was it was a bit moldy. Omitted chopped garlic and spinach. Used yellow bell pepper instead of green. This was so good that I would serve it for company.

So hearty and good! First big pot of soup of the season and this was a great choice. Added lots more veggies; celery, carrots and garlic. I used large elbow macaroni. Loved the spinach. We had crusty Texas toast to soak up all the broth. Even better as lunch today.

Super soup! I just added a few things here and there: dried red pepper flakes for some heat, a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste for body, kale instead of spinach just because... Also I cooked the orzo separately so each diner could add desired amount (plus the orzo remains al dente). I'm sure I'll be making this soup often; it's quick, easy and the ingredients are generally on-hand.

This soup is fantastic! We like spicy foods so I used hot sausage. It was very tasty.

I have made this several times, and everyone who eats it LOVES it. I did boil the orzo first and added just the right amount to keep it from getting too thick. It seems like 1/2 pound is too much. I never add it all. Also-- I use Italian sausage made from turkey or chicken to keep it low fat--- we like hot rather than sweet. I usually use more chicken broth as well.

Delicious soup! I made the soup with ingredients I had on hand: had dried parsley and minced garlic. The kids even loved this soup. Definitely a keeper.
