Narrative:

After landing on runway 27R at ord, we were told to turn left on taxiway H and contact ground. Ground told us to take taxiway H and the bravo bridge. Supposedly, we were told to take taxiway H to taxiway P to bravo bridge. Neither pilot heard taxiway P in the clearance, and taxied taxiway H across runway 22 to bravo. Ground then told us we just crossed an active runway and to turn right on bravo. We apologized and completed the taxi. I attribute this to both pilots' unfamiliarity with the airport, and for us not taking out time with the instructions, and to the ground controller's rapid fire delivery of our clearance.
