In large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil; add onion and mushrooms.

Cook, stirring frequently, 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in water, bouillon and thyme; heat to boiling. Stir in orzo; return to a boil.

Reduce heat; cook at a medium boil 12 minutes, or until pasta is tender.

During last 2 minutes of cooking, add sherry, if desired. Season to taste.
