Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup orzo pasta uncooked
  • ½ yellow onion diced, or white onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 ½ tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 ounce can diced tomatoes drained
  • 1 can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can Navy beans drained and rinsed, white
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes optional, crushed

Instructions

  1. In a large stock pot melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, orzo, and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes until garlic is fragrant and onions are tender.
  2. Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes, beans, and Italian seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 20-25 minutes until orzo pasta is fully cooked and tender.
  3. If the soup is too thick, add up to 3 cups of water to get a good broth. Taste, add salt and pepper to taste and crushed red pepper flakes. Serve warm and garnish with freshly chopped basil or parsley if desired.
