Love that this can be either made 30-45 minutes before you need to eat, or slow cook in crockpot alllll day!
I wish I rememebered to put this in crockpot so I could smell is cooking all day, but I didn't. Like I've done for a whole week now... Forget to put supper in crockpot... I'm awesome. Haha!!! :)
Anyways, this is a super easy recipe and really doesn't take much work!!! I was able to put this together and help my youngest with his schoolwork!
You could really put any ingredients you want in here, anything you want on your pizza! I just put in what I had! Feel free to add or take away anything you want, or don't like.
Pizza Soup
1 pound bulk sausage
1 green pepper
1 onion
1 jar of spaghetti sauce (I NEVER have pizza sauce! Never! I always use spaghetti sauce unless I'm making my cheeseburger pizza or BBQ chicken pizza... Then I make my own sauce...)
One big can of diced tomatoes (I buy these at Target b/c they have the petite diced tomatoes- perfect!)
1 pound mushrooms
Pepperoni
Olives
Basil
Oregano
Brown the sausage and pepper and onion in skillet (or if not doing crock pot, use a pot, I'm a one pot kind of girl, esp now that I don't have a working dishwasher... Just the kids and I!!!)
Add the tomatoes, (rinse can out with water and add that) jar of spaghetti sauce (do the same, add water, about 1/3 - 3/4 jar full of water, rinse and dump in your pot.) Now add your mushrooms, olives, pepperoni, and spices to taste to your desire!
Add anything else you want. Anything you like on your pizza, add! :)
You could do a veggie pizza soup too!
Let it cook til all flavors meld together, and if you added mushrooms, till they are soft. From start to finish, my soup was ready in 45 minutes. (Including browsing my sausage...)
Put soup in bowls and add a bit of shredded cheese on top. I only had cheddar, but a cheddar/mozerrella combo would be good as well!
This was a hit! The kids gobbled it down!
Add more water, or more sauce to make it as full as you want. Same with ingredients. If you need it to serve more, then just keep adding til your pot is as full as you want it! :)
Enjoy!!!
