hi, all,

 

i made this last night -- it was even better (and easier) than i'd

hoped. wow! i substituted stellete (you know, little stars) for the

orzo because i couldn't find any good quality orzo, and just swirled

the scallion / garlic mix in just before serving.

 

anyway, what a warming soup for a chilly night in a drafty house

watching 'heroes' with the family.

thanks for posting it!!!
