This Winter Orzo Minestrone Soup is every bit a mouthful to say as it is to eat! It's extra hearty and warming with butternut, kale, carrots, celery, orzo pasta all in a rich tomatoey broth. Oh and theres bacon too because everything is better with bacon! Am I right? This makes a huge batch of soup so you will have plenty to freeze for another time.
