Tomato Basil Orzo Soup

Is one of your New Year’s resolutions to eat more vegetables? Add this super soup to your menu and that resolution will be easy to keep!

1 cup each chopped carrot, celery and onion
1/4 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano and thyme
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cans (19 ounces each) ready-to-serve tomato basil or hearty tomato soup
2 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup uncooked orzo pasta

Sauté chopped veggies and herbs in oil for 8-10 minutes. Add soup and broth, bring to boil and stir in orzo. Reduce heat, simmer until orzo is cooked and veggies are tender—about 10 minutes.

Note: Stir while simmering the orzo, otherwise it will sink to the bottom and stick.

Serve with a loaf of homemade bread or crusty rolls.
