01
Step 1
Start by heating some olive oil in a big pot over medium-high heat. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking them gently until they’re soft and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes. Next, add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, basil, oregano, a pinch of cayenne, salt, and pepper. Turn the heat down to low and let everything simmer together for about 20 minutes so the flavors can really meld.

Step 2
Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree it until smooth, then pour it back into the pot. Stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola, orzo pasta, and a dollop of sour cream. Let the soup cook a little longer, just until the orzo is tender and everything is warmed through—this should take around 5 to 10 minutes. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to, then serve and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This soup combines the sweetness of tomatoes with the creamy tang of Gorgonzola, creating a rich and comforting flavor. The orzo adds a delightful texture that makes each spoonful satisfying and hearty. It’s a perfect dish for chilly days or whenever you want something warm and nourishing.
How to serve
Serve this soup with crusty bread or garlic toast for dipping. A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette pairs well and balances the richness. For an extra touch, sprinkle some fresh basil or cracked black pepper on top before serving.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove to prevent the cheese from separating. If the soup thickens too much, add a little water or broth to loosen it before warming.
