Greek Tomato Soup with Orzo
My recipe for manestra, which means "orzo" in Greek, is a straightforward and very easy to make recipe. You only need a few steps to transform simple ingredients into a creamy one-pot-wonder in about 30 minutes. —Kiki Vagianos, Melrose, Massachusetts

I took Karie’s suggestion to decrease the amount of orzo so I did, using 3/4 cup and I think it was just right! I used 5 large vine tomatoes instead of can (only because I hadn’t used them yet and needed to)This soup is delicious and I’ll definitely be making it again!
I made the recipe as indicated, but next time I will decrease the amount of orzo. It sucked up all the liquid and overtook the soup. Other than that, it was absolutely fantastic!!
I just made this (for breakfast lol) and it was super easy and super delicious! Thank you!
My husband brings back "heads" of cheese from the island his family is from. Sheep or goats milk,made the way it was hundreds of years ago,if not more! Each person makes it a bit different,some are hard,some softer. Some are soaked in olive oil,some are dipped in beeswax. Some "island cheese" would be lovely in this soup. After 6 months there he may not want Greek food for awhile! He usually wants pizza ! I will make this after he's had his fill of American food.
