ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND ORZO SOUP



Italian Sausage and Orzo Soup image

This hearty and warming soup makes a comforting dinner. The herbs make the kitchen smell wonderful! You can use lower-calorie turkey sausage for the Italian sausage if you like. I recommend adding 2 teaspoons olive oil to the sausage while cooking to prevent sticking. -Kendra Van Doren, Clyde, Ohio
