Greek Tomato Soup with Orzo
Can you freeze Greek Tomato Soup with Orzo?
Freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add a little broth or water if necessary.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1-1/4 cups uncooked whole wheat orzo pasta
- 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) whole tomatoes, undrained, coarsely chopped
- 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Optional: Crumbled feta cheese and minced fresh basil
Directions
- In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; saute onion until tender, 3-5 minutes. Add orzo; cook and stir until lightly toasted.
- Stir in tomatoes, broth and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until orzo is tender, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. If desired, top with feta and basil.
