Day 23: Wheat Pilaf and Orzo with Summer Squash and Bell Peppers

I needed to use up the last of my organic summer squash before it went bad, and my bell peppers were on the fritz too, so I hunted around my cupboards and managed to find a package of Wheat pilaf/orzo mix. Here's what I came up with.

Wheat Pilaf and Orzo with Summer Squash and Bell Peppers
What you'll need:
1 bell pepper, diced
2 small summer squash, sliced into 1/4" pieces
2 T olive oil
1 pkg. Wheat Pilaf and/or Orzo mix
1 t. cumin
1 can Campbell's Vegatable Orzo soup

In a large skillet, heat up olive oil and toss in slices of summer squash and diced bell pepper. Cook until tender. The squash should be slightly browned on both sides before removing.
Cook pilaf as directed. Once the pilaf is finished, add in the cooked squash and bell pepper, cumin, and soup and mix well. Served best in soup bowls.

Ratings from the Experts*: 8 for me. Really flavorful without being too salty but seemed like something might be missing. Hubby says 8 for him except he would switch the bell peppers for some other vegetable that would blend a little more with the overall taste of the dish.
