In Greek, manestra refers to the rice-shaped pasta known as orzo in English and Italian, as well as to the tomato-based dish that’s made with the pasta. This humble dish is often thick, almost like a risotto, and sometimes includes meat—it’s pure comfort food. Here, we’ve turned the ingredients into a hearty vegetarian soup by simmering tomatoes, carrots, potatoes and zucchini with aromatic oregano and allspice. A sprinkling of pleasantly salty feta, the Greek cheese made from goat’s or sheep’s milk or both, provides a nice contrast to the savory vegetables. Serve crusty bread alongside for dipping.
