Asparagus Orzo Soup

    Great soup! I exchanged the chicken broth for veggie broth and it became a great vegetarian/vegan dish! Prep time was much greater than ten minutes (closer to 30 minutes for me to prep and cut all the ingredients, but I also doubled the recipe); the result was worth the additional time.
