While onions and garlic are sautéing, slice sausage into 1/2-inch slices.
Add orzo to onion mixture and cook for about 4 minutes or until orzo turns slightly brown. Add chicken broth, carrots, mushrooms, Italian seasoning and sausage. Mix ingredients until combined. Heat the mixture until it starts to boil and then reduce to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
