How to Make Greek Tomato Soup?

[axariotisxy]

I had a Greek tomato and orzo soup when I was out recently.

I have tried to find a recipe, but I don't know any Greek apple who make it! I looked online but the version I found looks different from what I cooked - some of the flavors looked different.

This is the list of ingredients:

- Olive oil
- 1 onion
- 2.5 pounds large tomatoes, chopped
- Oregano
- Salt
- Pepper
- Water (like 2 cups)
- Orzo (about a 1/2 cup)

Those of you who make this, what do you do? First of all, I tasted garlic in the version I had, and also there was a heavier pepper flavor than this recipe indicates. Could I put red pepper flakes? If so, how many?

This looks pretty close to the type of recipe I would make. I put a little more orzo than that and I also use maybe 2 garlic cloves in addition to the onion. I don't think red pepper flakes tastes good in this dish, not sure how that will go but I in general I don't like hot food.
