Light Side-Soup

I don't know if it's an Argentinean tradition or just a family one, but ever since I was a kid we always had a "side soup" when eating homemade pizza. Soup goes perfect on the side because as yummy as pizza is, it's always nice to have something liquid in contrast with the crunch and gooey-ness of pizza. When we make a side soup though, it's always something simple and light, so it doesn't steal the spotlight of our homemade pizza nights. I wanna share this recipe because this soup good can be used on the side of other foods or as a first course. This soup is so simple and light.


Ingredients

2 potatoes peeled, diced
1 package peperini or orzo pasta
1 small onion finely minced
3 garlic cloves
2 tbs dried parsley
2 tbs dried oregano
2 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbs red pepper flakes
1 tbs ground black pepper
Salt to taste

Instructions

In a medium sauce pan saute onion and garlic, add water according to package directions, then add potatoes, parsley, oregano, red and black pepper and salt. Let it boil for a while and then add pasta. Cook according to package instructions. Enjoy with your favorite entree!
