Tomato Orzo Soup
This hearty, zesty soup is basically like a hug in a bowl and just tastes so good on a chilly day. It freezes well and tasted just as good the day after it's prepared. This recipe makes 6 servings.

Directions
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage or chorizo and onion; cook for 7 minutes. Add the garlic, carrots and celery and cook for 4 minutes more.
Add broth, crushed tomatoes, dried oregano and season with salt and pepper. Let the soup come to a boil and add the orzo. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn't clump.
