    I want to start a petition to boycott Demitria. This is the second time that I've seen where she says Feta is "optional". Oh please! Really? Feta is an essential ingredient. Zeus ate it every day. He grew it in his garden, stuffed it in his pillow and used it as a toothpaste—check your mythology and you'll see im right. Lets get together and all shout loudly, "Feta is mandatory—never optional". Thumbs up as always D.
    BTW, im gonna get some crusty baguettes tomorrow and make this for dinner. Thx so much for the dinner idea.

    I make this all the time it’s delicious… but we don’t call it orzo we call it kritharaki in Greek

    A family of 7? Wow! I usually cook for 2. Like you and your family, we prefer our tomato-based soups smooth vs. chunky. I'll let the Vitamix heat most of it. And then I'll stir in the garlic, onions, pasta, and herbs… doing it my way doesn't save any time, I just like to use my blender to make hot soup. Thanks again. Your channel is dope, you have great ideas and you make me smile.

    I've made this for yrs and it is delicious. Try adding a tbls of chicken bouillon when you add the tomato paste. It just adds additional flavoring. 😊

    Have to give this a go.I suppose brown rice could also be used instead of the Orzo. Whatever, I will try the original recipe.

    I had a recipe for this and it was ok…but I tried your recipe and it is far superior …this soup freezes so well….I love your recipe and have shared it with friends…

    I just stumbled upon this gem today. It's 31° in Syracuse, NY and I will warm body and soul with this for brunch (after I scrape the ice off the windshield and get a crusty loaf from Columbus Bakery to enjoy with this soup.) ❀
