Tomato and Orzo Soup with Gorgonzola image

With a snowstorm going on outside, I was craving a warm comfort soup. Inspired by the tomato soup of a well-known local chef and four boxes of orzo in the pantry, I came up with this yummy soup. Serve topped with buttered croutons.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken in the fridge, so this is a great way to use it up.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used vegan gorgonzola instead. The soup was still very creamy and delicious.

This soup is gluten-free if you use gluten-free orzo. It's a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken broth and used vegetable broth instead. The soup was still very flavorful.

I didn't have any gorgonzola on hand, so I used Parmesan cheese instead. It was still very good.

The soup was too thick for my taste. I added some extra broth and it was perfect.
