This soup was soooooooooo good! I switched one can of tomatoes out for tomato sauce (personal preference). It seemed a bit thin as a result so I threw in a pinch of flour - came out perfect. Also added just a bit more orzo (it's my favorite pasta). Might also add a few more olives next time. Made for company and we each scarfed down a huge bowl full! Thanks Lorac! I will definitely make this again!
