Easy Orzo Soup


Ingredients
  • 8 Cups Vegetarian Vegetable broth (2 cartons), 
  • 5 cups water,
  •  1 small onion, 
  • 3-4 cloves fresh garlic,
  •  3 carrots,
  •  1/2 bag frozen peas, 
  • 1 cup orzo,
  •  Italian seasoning (I used oregano & basil or you can use the jarred seasoning), 
  • 1 bay leaf, 
  • 2 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • Dice onions and garlic and simmer in a small amount of broth until tender; add the seasonings and carrots and simmer until aromatic; add the broth and water; simmer about 30 minutes until broth is hot; add the peas and simmer another 15 minutes; add the orzo (uncooked). Add salt and pepper to taste. You can add more than 1 cup if you want more pasta. Simmer until orzo is tender.
    The base for this broth is easy. You can sub any kind of pasta or potatoes if desired. Throw in some sliced zucchini or any other vegetable if you don't like peas.
