1/2 tsp chili powder
3 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups orzo
1/4 cup heavy cream
scallions, thinly sliced for garnish
Heat olive oil in large skillet, add sliced sausage and cook until sausage starts to brown. Add onions and pepper and cook until crisp tender. Stir in garlic and cook another minute. Add the seasonings and stir to coat sausage and veggies. Stir in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the orzo and stir well. Simmer uncovered 10-12 minutes until the orzo is tender.
