Tips:

  • Use flavorful cooking liquid: To infuse the soup with extra flavor, use a combination of chicken broth, vegetable broth, and a splash of white wine instead of just water. You can also add a bay leaf and some thyme sprigs to the pot while it's simmering.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the orzo, make sure not to overcrowd the pot, or else the pasta will cook unevenly. If necessary, cook the orzo in batches.
  • Season to taste: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: For a finishing touch, garnish the soup with chopped fresh cilantro, parsley, or basil. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
