Tomato Orzo

I just love orzo.  Growing up, it was a staple in our home, and this dish was one of my favorites.  My mom would combine tomato soup, homemade turkey stock, and orzo.  It was just one of those perfect dishes, comforting and delicious!  My kids love it as much as I did and it is still a favorite of mine this time of year.

It is a perfect weeknight meal and super easy to make.  You can make it with homemade or store bought stock and soup, depending on your time constraints.  It also freezes well, which is a big plus.

I am excited to share this yummy dish at Fiesta Friday # 208!

    This looks delicious and comforting. I can’t wait until I get my weight down to a place where I can enjoy tomato based foods again!

    I love orzo and for some reason almost never eat it. Hmm. Added to my shopping list, Antonia. Thanks for the recipe. And your right about being able to free it – that always comes in handy. Hope you are well, my friend. Have a wonderful day!

    This looks like the best kind of comfort food Antonia! And don’t you love having recipes that have memories of family attached to them?? I wonder if I could used chicken broth in place of the turkey?? It’s what I would have on hand. thanks thanks Antonia– hope you are all staying warm & snug! xo

      Thank you Rhonda, it really is. I love food that takes you back! 😀 Yes, you can use chicken broth (I need to note that in the recipe). It is a little less rich in flavor, but is equally delicious. I hope you get a chance to try it! Have a lovely weekend! 😀

    Orzo is a great staple! I use it when I need a quick “risotto” and have to admit I like it more than rice! Great recipe and it looks so good 🙂
