Instructions

In a Dutch oven, Heat 1-2 tbsp. EVOO over medium-high and add onion – sauté for about 2 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add orzo, chicken stock and milk. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat, allowing to simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle with black pepper. Fold to incorporate all ingredients with one another.
