This Orzo pasta soup is a side dish for the main course of Beef Souvlaki.

I wanted to minimize the workload while ensuring a balanced nutrition, so I combined vegetables (zucchini, carrots, celery root, onions, garlic, etc.), country sausage, and Orzo pasta into a hearty soup. It's great served hot or cold.

Over medium heat, lightly fry the country sausage until the edges are light brown, then remove.

Transfer to a soup pot (or continue in the same pan), and add enough boiling water.
