Excellent soup! I used three chicken breasts and put a bit extra orzo pasta, but otherwise, used the recipe as-is. -
DH loved this soup. Only changes were to use 2 chopped chicken breasts and homemade chicken broth. Though orzo pasta is sometimes hard to find, it's well worth the hunt. It was a favorite of James Beard, who noted that it doesn't become gummy as rice may. Thanks, Marie, for a simple soup with complex flavors...the tomato sauce makes all the difference.
