Pizza Soup

This recipe is taken from Holly Grainger.

Time: 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp. EVOO
• 1 tbsp. minced garlic
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• ½ lb. cooked Italian chicken sausage links
• 2 tsp. basil
• 1 tsp oregano
• 32 fl. oz. low-sodium vegetable broth
• 28 oz. tomato sauce (no added salt)
• 1 can diced tomatoes (no added salt)
• Stuff you like on pizza: pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, mozzarella cheese (I haven’t tried it Hawaiian style)

Directions:

1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add olive oil, garlic, onion, and bell pepper.
2. Dice the sausage into bite-size pieces and brown with the veggies. Cook until the onion is translucent; about 10 minutes.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Add toppings and serve.

Notes:

• If I’m adding pepperoni, I usually add it before simmering even though it’s listed as a “topping”. :)
