ARRABBIATA ORZO SOUP A very simple, quick-to-make tomato soup based on a traditional Italian arrabbiatta sauce (tomato, chilli and garlic). I like to make this when I have very little time for prepping, but want something filling and warming for lunch. I love orzo in soup because, as well as thickening it up, it adds great texture and filling power. CALORIES PER SERVING: 243 PREP TIME: 5 MINUTES COOK TIME: 20 MINUTES
