You know what I love about Weight Watchers recipes?

I found this recipe for Asparagus Soup with Orzo in one of my Weight Watchers pamphlets when I was going to the meetings.

I don’t go to the meetings anymore, but I still enjoy making healthy meals that don’t taste like you’re on a ‘diet’.

This Asparagus Soup with Orzo totally fits the bill!

A Year-Round Soup Recipe

The Weight Watchers version of this soup is called Spring Vegetable Soup with Orzo.

But I like to think you can eat this year-round.

Not just in the spring.

A delicious vegetarian soup

It turned out delicious.

I love how it is chock full of orzo and veggies, with asparagus being one of my favorite veggies.

Orzo pasta adds some bulk to this recipe

Some Personal Preference Changes For Next Time

One thing I would change next time I make this would be to omit the lemon juice and the dill.

I think these two ingredients are what put the ‘Spring’ into the Weight Watchers version of this soup.

But, I didn’t like the taste of lemon and dill with the rest of the ingredients.

Just a personal preference.

I feel like it would taste heartier without the lemon and dill.

When you make it, decide on your own whether or not to include these ingredients and let me know what you think.

If you love asparagus, you'll love this recipe

Variations to this Asparagus Soup with Orzo Recipe

This soup is a great vegetarian option for those who don’t eat meat.

If you do eat meat, you could add in some chicken and make an even heartier soup.

Or, to keep it vegetarian, add in some tofu to make it more of a stick-to-your-ribs kind of soup.
