A blissful bowl of Tomato, Harissa and Orzo Soup, is bursting with amazing flavours! There is just so much comforting goodness in every spoon of this soup. It's vegan, hearty and spicy that keeps you full and warm. It's a perfect choice when you want to have a full meal yet light on the tummy.
Yet I am posting one more recipe for soup! While in the other parts of the world some of you guys are making pickles in scorching heat and holding chilled drinks in your hands to beat the heat.
we are far away from that kind of weather yet as a week ago we were badly battered by a snowstorm which left all of us in a very vulnerable condition.
In many places being sub-zero temperatures, and heavy downpour there were power cuts and the whole country faced transport chaos. Many had to face empty shelves in the supermarkets as delivery drivers could not deliver to the stores and the stores had to cancel thousands of home delivery services due to icy conditions and transport chaos.
It is all well to enjoy visually all these piles of snow like in Yash Raj films and getting by mesmerized by the white snow, Only looks so pretty in Bollywood movies, but becomes a huge problem in real life as it does cause so much havoc and chaos for all. But spring is around the corner!
Although the situation is under control now, snow is gone and temperatures are going slightly up. But while I'm drafting this post, just came to know that we may need to bring out our woollies again because freezing weather is coming again with more snow on the way this weekend!

As soon as temperatures drop my mind turns to the simple pleasure of stirring a big batch of soup. I was more than happy to prepare family's favourite Tomato and Orzo Soup with Harissa, that you want to make again and again. This frugal soup is loaded with the goodness of tomatoes, harissa paste and energy providing Orzo ( rice-shaped pasta) with full of taste and texture.
You can serve this soup any weeknight along with wholemeal or multigrain crusty bread and fresh salad for a hearty and filling meal or on its own for a light lunch on the next day.
