Lemony Mushroom-Orzo Soup for Two
Here's a versatile soup that works as an appetizer or as a side for a sandwich lunch. It's loaded with mushrooms and orzo pasta—and lemon livens up its mild flavor.—Edrie O'Brien, Denver, Colorado

Reviews
This is a flavorful soup that is great with a sandwich.
This had lots of flavor, I used home made broth, and it was great. Do not add the orzo any earlier than stated or it will swell too much.
We also love mushrooms and orzo pasta, but in our case the lemon did not work for us
We love orzo and mushroom so how could we not enjoy. The lemon zest and fresh lemon juice add a more delicate flavor which adds to all else. I omitted the parsley and thyme just not to my taste. We will definitely make again and again. I increased quantities to six servings and only wanted to have left overs so we'll have to make again real soon. Used baby portabellas sliced.
