Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 small onion -- finely chopped

1 garlic clove -- finely chopped

10 ounces tomato soup, condensed -- preffer low sodium

10 ounces water

1 large tomato -- seeded and chopped

1/4 cup pasta shells -- Orzo

or any other tiny pasta

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese -- grated

2 tablespoons basil leaves -- slivered

 

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute until they

begin to color, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and

cook for 1minute more. Add soup, tomatoes, orzo and water. Over medium-high

heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until the orzo

is tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the orzo from

sticking. Ladle into soup bowls and garnish with cheese and basil.

 

Makes 2 servings

 

NOTE:When there is next to nothing in the refrigerator, canned soup in the

cupboard provides a satisfying last resort. A few ordinary ingredients will

change a predictable soup into an unexpected delight. Here, chopped tomatoes,

fresh basil and Parmesan cheese update a pop art icon.
