"Simple, delicious, and fast, this Greek soup is probably the easiest soup you'll ever make. You only need a few ingredients and you can do it all in 30 minutes! The classic Greek orzo pasta, which looks like grains of rice, makes this soup a rich dinner. Alternatively, other small pasta varieties could also work well here. Probably the best part of the dish is the salty feta, which is added at the end and adds creaminess to each spoonful and reminds me of last year’s viral baked feta pasta from TikTok."
