Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup orzo pasta

- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned. Break it apart as it cooks to get those nice little morsels.
- Once the sausage is browned, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until all the veggies are tender and your kitchen smells amazing.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- Now, toss in the orzo pasta and let it cook according to the package instructions (usually about 8-10 minutes).
- Once the pasta is done, season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. You might wanna go easy on the salt at first—taste it and adjust as needed.
- Finally, serve your delicious soup hot and garnish it with fresh parsley. You can even add some grated Parmesan on top if you’re feelin’ fancy!
