Creamy Mushroom & Orzo Soup with Lemon & Parmesan

We really loved this recipe. It has great flavors and was really fun to make. A super easy healthy meal that was quick to put together. We did not make any substitutions and just followed the recipe. We did use sherry over cider vinegar. Really tasty!

I was really excited about making this as I LOVE mushrooms. My store didn't have cremini so I subbed for a "gourmet medley". The recipe was super easy and fast to make. Unfortunately, it just didn't seem to come together. The lemon overpowered the flavor of the mushrooms, the orzo soaked up all of the liquid and the little bit of sour cream did not do enough to make this a creamy soup. I even tried blending some of the soup with a immersion blender in hopes to add more creaminess and soup like texture. On top of all that, with so much onion, carrots and celery, it had a funny texture combined with the orzo. The overall flavor was just okay. I would not make again.
