Easy Delicious Hamburger Orzo Soup
"This recipe came from my mom who got it out of an old (1970's)cookbook of hers. I made it one night and just love it. It's perfect on a fall or winter night served with some fresh bread. This recipe makes quite a lot, and we never seem to have much left over."

This is a keeper for us. It will be a great meal to prepare on a weekday when time and energy are short. I used diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil which did make it a bit oily but gave it a great flavour. Thanks for sharing this great soup recipe. -
This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I used 6 cups of beef broth instead of the water and bouillon. I also use about a cup of orzo and 2 cups of mixed veggies. I think it could have used a lot more spices. The longer it sat, the better I think it tasted. -
This was a very easy to prepare recipe. I served this to a group from work and it was very tasty. I did take the liberty of adding 1/4 tsp of basil, 1/4 tsp of oregano and 1/2 tsp of seasoning salt. I think I also added more orzo then the recipe called for (I just eye balled it). Instead of the vegetable mix, I just added all frozen corn. Thank you for sharing your recipe, I will use it again in the future. -
We love this soup and it's so easy to make. I've made it before from an old cookbook but couldn't find which book it came from. I was glad to see the recipe posted.

I grew up in the South, mostly lived in the Old West later on, and now am back in the Southeast again. I love all kinds of foods and enjoy cooking new things and trying them out on my family.
