Ingredients

1 cup Orzo pasta
1 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
2 medium Carrots
2 medium Potatoes
4 cups Chicken broth
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black pepper
1/2 cup Grated cheese

Method

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering, then add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic to the pot and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the carrots and potatoes to the pot and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Add the orzo pasta to the pot and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste, then serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of grated cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
Let the soup cool to room temperature before refrigerating or freezing for later use.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the vegetables from the pot, then serve with crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
Add a splash of white wine to the soup for added flavor and depth.
