A fun twist on the everyday classic, this soup not only will warm your soul, but keep you feeling fuller longer thanks to the Orzo’s extra fiber levels! Want to know the best part though? Also thanks to the great fiber, the noodles don’t break down and great mushy making any 3 Farm Daughters shape the perfect soup noodle!
