MANESTRA - POOR GREEK SOUP
Think of this as what a college student makes after the tuition and books bill has been paid. Not really a dish served for guests - just a soup you make when you're low on ingredients. Has a very strong "Greek" flavor and is more oily than other soups. From Adventures in Greek Cooking: The Olive and The Caper by Susanna Hoffman

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan over medium high heat. Add the onion, garlic and oregano and sauté until the onion wilts, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes and sauté until they collapse, about 10 minutes.
- Add the salt and water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tomatoes are very soft and the liquid is very dark, about 40 minutes.
- Add the orzo and simmer until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Serve with grated cheese on top and shredded mint leaves.
