Italian Sausage Soup
It's a perfectly seasoned, richly flavored soup that's made with Italian seasoned pork sausage, filling orzo pasta, lots of tender fresh vegetables and plenty of herbs and garlic to season. In other words you'll get plenty of rich and meaty, herbaceous flavor in every spoonful!

📝 Preparation Steps

You should have about 1 Tbsp fat in pot, if needed add a little more olive oil or drain off some excess fat if there's too much.

6
Bring to a simmer then cover, reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer ⏱️ 5 - 10 minutes until veggies are almost soft.
7
Add orzo. Cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally (while scraping along bottom of pot as orzo will tend to stick). Cook until nearly al dente. About ⏱️ 8 minutes.
8
Remove from heat. Stir in some ice (1/2 cup or so) if you want to help stop the orzo from cooking and getting mushy. Stir in fresh parsley and basil.
