  5. Remove the fat from the stock in the pan and add more stock if necessary to make up four cups.
  6. Remove the stock from the pan and set aside.
  7. Heat the Dutch oven again and add half cup olive oil.
  8. Add the orzo pasta and toss for a minute.
  9. Add the chopped onion and garlic sautee until the onion is clear.
