Ingredients:
1 ½ cup of medium sized pasta (medium orzo)
6 tablespoons of tahini
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt
White pepper
8 cups of water
15 celery or parsley leaves
Some croutons for serving
Instructions:
Boil the orzo into enough water until it gets tender. Remove from heat. Put the tahini in a bowl and pour the lemon juice gradually, while stirring with a fork until the two ingredients are mixed well. Add water with a spoon and continue stirring until tahini is a bit dissolved. Then, add a small amount of the warm broth of the soup into the tahini, while you are mixing constantly. When it gets dissolved enough, mix the dissolved tahini with the warm soup and sprinkle with black pepper. Serve the tahini soup with croutons and some celery or parsley leaves.
