Mushroom Orzo Soup

Another Wegmans recipe that I really liked -- it's quick and easy and tastes great.

Mushroom Orzo Soup

2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 cup chopped Onionos
1 4 oz. package Wegmans Gourmet Mushrooms (I generally just use sliced white mushrooms)
1 10 oz. package Baby Bella Mushrooms, sliced
2 Tbsp Flour
3 1/2 cups Beef Broth
1 Bay Leaf
1/3 cup Orzo soup pasta

Heat oil in soup pot. Add onions and mushrooms; cook on medium 10 - 12 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low. Stir in flour.

Add broth in a steady stream, mixing continuously to blend with flour. Add bay leaf, bring back to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 15 minutes.

Add orzo and cook 6 - 8 minutes, until tender. Discard bay leaf. Season to taste.
