Mushroom and Leek Soup

"A rich, easy soup, using just a few ingredients. If you can't find leeks,
just use green onions."

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 35 Minutes
Ready In: 50 Minutes
Servings: 6

4 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 cup sliced leeks
2 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dry sherry
3 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed beef broth
3 3/4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup uncooked orzo pasta

In a large pot over medium high heat, saute the mushrooms and leeks in the
butter or margarine and olive oil until tender. Add the sherry and reduce
liquid by half. Then add the beef broth, water and ground black pepper.
Bring to a boil and add the pasta. Boil gently for 10 minutes, or until
the pasta is tender. Garnish with sliced mushrooms if desired.
