1️⃣ Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and zucchini. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and let it release its magic for 30 seconds.
2️⃣ Add the Broth & Orzo
Pour in the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then stir in the orzo. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3️⃣ Final Touches
Once the orzo is tender, squeeze in the fresh lemon juice and give everything a good stir. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
Ladle the soup into bowls, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and get ready to experience the ultimate cozy, comforting meal!
