For this simple Turkish-inspired soup, browning a generous amount of tomato paste with chopped garlic builds a complex, deeply savory base. Sweet paprika lends bold color and earthy notes and dried mint infuses the dish with its unique herbaceousness. Simmering the orzo in the broth after the chicken is fully tender ensures perfectly cooked pasta, and also adds body to the broth. If you like, serve with crusty bread or a simple salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
