Description
This one-pot Vegetable Orzo Soup is easy to make and the perfect fall/winter comfort food.
Ingredients
4 tbsp olive oil
1 white onion, cubed
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp dry dill
1 tsp pink sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp. vegetable stock paste
10 mini potatoes, halved
1 large zucchini, cubed
1 1/2 cups of crushed tomatoes
2 tsp tomato paste
8 cups of hot water
3/4 cup of fresh dill
1/2 cup of durum wheat orzo
garnish with some lemon, fresh dill and oregano
Instructions
Into a large pot, on medium-low heat, add your olive oil and let it heat up for around 30 seconds. Add your onions, and let them sweat out for around 5 minutes on low heat. Stir often to avoid burning. You can then add your garlic, dill, and salt and pepper. Give it a good stir, and let it sweat for another 2 minutes.
Now add your vegetable stock paste, potatoes and zucchini. Stir till everything is well combined. Cook for 5 minutes on medium-high. You want to let them get a nice little golden colour.
Once golden add your crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and water to a pot and stir well. Bring soup to a boil and simmer on low for 10-12 minutes or until your potatoes are soft-ish.
To the pot, add the dill and orzo and cook for 7 minutes or as instructed on the package.
Before serving, check for seasoning and consistency. Enjoy with fresh herbs, a dash of lemon and vegan sour cream!
Notes
If you like your soup thick add a bit less water if you like brothy soup add more.

Deliciousness in a bowl. That was my first orzo soup ever and I loved it! It was so easy to make (I remade it many times adding and changing some of the veggies to go with the fridge flow… spoiler alert, it’s always good). That recipe is so tasty and hearty and comforting. You can keep it for a few days and truth is the more times, it cooks the better if gets! :))

You’re going to love this soup babes, it’s so easy and delicious!
Just made this for dinner subbing a orange bell pepper and corn for the zucchini, along with gluten free macaroni in exchange for the orzo and it was a hit! My 8 year old ate 3 bowls full. Super easy to adapt this to fit any veggies needing to be used up and whatever type of pasta you’ve got on hand.

Hey Genevieve, Thanks for the love! So happy you liked this recipe as much as we do!
Heavely- made for lunch! Served with cashew cream, lemon & fresh dill! What’s so special about Maria’s recipes is her brilliant use of real, nourishing food- the kind that’s passed on for generations!
Thank you so much, Michelle! This means so much to us!
Again, another truly amazing recipe. The dill was the perfect addition and I actually found myself craving this recipe again, only a few days after we’d finished it.
I love this recipe so much! I am glad you did too!
