Soup or "Çorba" is an integral part of the Turkish meal plan. It is always served as a starter to most lunches and dinners – or as a light diet meal on its own – Turks have certainly mastered the art of cooking this local favorite.

According to historians; a bowl of 4000 year old vermicelli (orzo) soup was found in Yellow river (Huang Ho) in China. Most historians agree that vermicelli originated from China. Also it is known as a first noodle soup or noodle dish.

When we were kids, our grandmothers cook orzo soup too often. But they weren't cooking it always in the same way. The basis was the same, but the soup could be diversified according to the ingredients at home at that moment. This is the reason we have so many orzo soup recipes.

Our orzo soup recipe is the most basic one. Chicken orzo (or vermicelli) soup and orzo soup with liver are two of our grandmother's varieties. Another is orzo soup with ground meat. Actually, we cook orzo soup or orzo soup with ground meat alot during the year.
