1 cup (medium) of Tomato Soup with Orzo (240 g) has 91 calories. That works out to 38 calories per 100 g. It contains 17.3 g of carbs, 2.9 g of protein, 1.7 g of fat and 2.6 g of fiber.

Tomato Soup with Orzo combines a smooth tomato base with small pasta pieces. It is a familiar style of soup in Turkish home cooking, where şehriye—small noodles or orzo-shaped pasta—is simmered in tomato, often with stock, until tender. The result is bright and gently tangy, with a little more body than plain tomato soup.
In Turkey, it is often served hot as a first course at lunch or dinner, or as a simple light meal with bread; a sprinkle of herbs is a natural finishing touch. It is relatively light, with 38 calories per 100 g, while the pasta adds some carbohydrates and substance. For a heartier bowl, pair it with a sandwich or add a little grated cheese; use less oil if you prefer it lighter.

Tomato soup with orzo is made by simmering tomatoes with stock or water, then cooking orzo in the soup until tender. For a smooth base, blend the tomatoes before adding the pasta so the orzo stays whole.
Orzo is a small, rice-shaped pasta made from wheat, not a grain of rice. In tomato soup with orzo, it adds tender pasta bites and makes the bowl more substantial than plain tomato soup.
Yes, fresh tomatoes work well in tomato soup with orzo. Chop and cook them until soft before blending; very watery tomatoes may need a longer simmer so the soup has a full tomato flavor.
Orzo continues absorbing liquid as it sits in tomato soup with orzo, especially after cooking. Add extra broth or water when reheating, or cook the orzo separately and stir it into each serving just before eating.
Yes, but blend the tomato base before adding the orzo. Blending the finished tomato soup with orzo breaks up the pasta and can make the soup gummy, so keep the pasta whole for its usual texture.
Basil, oregano, and thyme pair well with tomato soup with orzo. Add dried herbs while the soup simmers, or finish with fresh basil or parsley just before serving to keep their flavor bright.
Tomato soup with orzo goes well with a grilled cheese sandwich, crusty bread, or a green salad. A cheese toastie is a particularly common pairing because its crisp bread and melted cheese complement the tomato broth.
Yes, but the orzo may turn soft after freezing and thawing. For better texture, freeze the tomato soup base without pasta, then cook orzo in the reheated soup before serving.
Tomato soup with orzo keeps for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. The pasta will continue to absorb the liquid, so loosen leftovers with a splash of water or broth while reheating.
Yes, tomato soup with orzo can be served unblended. Finely chop or grate the tomatoes and simmer them until soft for a rustic texture; blend the tomato base first if you prefer a smooth soup with whole orzo pieces.
