This is my new favorite soup!!! I realized after already starting the soup that I used all of my orzo up so I replaced it with barley and it was absolutely delicious! I like orzo and although it is an "italian" soup I think next time I make the soup I will still use barley because it was excellent. I also used italian diced tomatoes rather than stewed and frozen spinach rather than fresh...but regardless the soup was great and I plan to make it many times in the future.

We loved this healthy, hearty soup! I used frozen spinach, because that is what we had on hand, and dry beans. We'll definitely be making it again!

Very satisfying for a cold winters night supper, really yummy. In place of the grated Romano I used shards of Parmesan, it added a great deal to the flavor and looked pretty. The orzo was a nice change for pasta as well. The next time I make it I plan to add mini-meatballs for a variation. Another plus, it freezes well.
