Pizza Soup

It's fall. It's football season. It's time for...

Soup!

Of course!

One of our family favorites is Pizza Soup. Quick to make. Quickly eaten!

Ingredients:

1 lb. of sausage
Optional: Pepperoni, diced. 1/2 lb. of ground beef.

1 garlic clove, minced.
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 ribs of celery, diced

1 large can of diced tomatoes
1 jar or can of prepared pizza sauce
1pint of chicken broth
Shredded mozzarella cheese

Prepare:

1. Brown the sausage in a large pot. (Brown other meats at the same time if adding them).

2. Add the garlic, onion, carrots and celery. Cook for a couple minutes, just till the onions start to clear.

3. Pour in the tomatoes, pizza sauce and 1 cup of chicken broth (Add more broth if needed as soup simmers)

4. Bring to boiling, then reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes (Can simmer for longer -- add broth if needed)

Serve:

Ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheese!

Enjoy!

This sounds AMAZING!! We love Taco Soup.... and I'm always looking for new great soup recipes for the fall and winter months! So glad you posted this!

A friend and I discussed this recipe and it's health benefits.

I drain the sausage by setting it on paper towels on a cooling rack. The fat is largely absorbed.

Also, you can add more veggies. We've added zucchini (add toward the end) and other squash. If you like peppers, add those too. I'm the cook on this one and don't like peppers, so ours is pepper free :) Toss in beans (red, black, navy) for added protein and fiber without the fat. The possibilities are endless.

The more veggies, the healthier. Definitely a whole lot healthier than pizza!!!

Enjoy!
