Tahini Soup

From Thekla Nunnally

1-2 cans vegetable broth
1/2 head of cabbage, sliced thin
1-2 carrots, diced
1 tomato,diced
1 potato,peeled and chopped small
1/2 box Orzo noodles
2 TBSP Tahini (heeping)
1/4 cup lemon juice
salt to taste

Bring cabbage to boil add rest of ingredients including Tahini (tahini will separate and look curdled) contiue to slow boil stirring occassionally. Simmer for 1 hour. Bring to boil again and add orzo. Simmer covered for as long as it takes for orzo to soften. *We like this soup to be very thick like stew so if you like your's more soupy add water as needed. **The key to the soup is the lemon juice. Tart is best so we add a couple of drops of lemon juice to our soup bowls before serving..add salt as needed. Enjoy!
