Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add in the red pepper flakes and garlic, and saute until garlic is fragrant and slightly tender—about two minutes. Add in the onion, and cook until translucent—about three minutes. Add in the Italian sausage and cook until browned.
  2. Add in all the remaining ingredients, except the orzo, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, then add in the orzo. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the soup is thick and bubbly and the orzo is cooked.
