I'm not a fan of orzo, so I used rice instead. It turned out great!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I always have some shrimp or salmon in my freezer and this is a great way to use it up.

This was a great recipe. I used shrimp, scallops, and mussels in my soup and it was delicious. I also added a bit of white wine to the broth which gave it a nice flavor.
