Ingredients
Soup
- 1 lb. hot Italian sausage
- 1 medium green bell pepper diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 1 medium red onion diced
- 4 oz baby bella mushrooms cleaned and roughly chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup sliced Pepperoncini banana peppers are a good substitute
- 1 cup pepperoni slices diced and divided
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 15 oz can diced tomatoes undrained
- 14 oz jar or can Pizza Sauce I typically use Classico
- 5 cups reduced sodium chicken stock broth may be substituted
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
Topping
- 12 lices baguette toasted
- 12 lices mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Brown sausage
- Heat a dutch oven or heavy bottomed soup pot over MED HIGH heat. Once hot, add a drizzle of olive oil if desired, then add sausage.
- Cook until well browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks. If there's excess grease, drain and return to the pot.
Cook veggies
- Reduce heat to MED. Add both bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, garlic, and pepperoncini peppers, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes, or until softened.
Make soup
- Add 3/4 cup of the diced pepperoni, the salt, black pepper, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, diced tomatoes, pizza sauce, and chicken stock. Stir well to combine. Increase heat to MED HIGH.
- Bring the soup up to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to LOW and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Finish soup
- Preheat oven to 475°F. When soup is finished simmering, add basil and Parmesan cheese, stirring to combine.
- Divide the soup among oven-safe crocks, then top with 2 slices of baguette, 2 slices of mozzarella cheese, and sprinkle with some of the remaining 1/4 cup of diced pepperoni.
- Place crocks on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for several minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
Serve
- Serve soup hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh basil or parsley (if desired). Please use caution, as the crocks will be very hot.
Notes
- UnBaked Soup:
- I've estimated this soup will serve approximately 6, but the exact number of servings will be up to you.
- Baking the soup isn't required; if not baking, follow the directions below.
- Omit baguette slices and mozzarella cheese slices.
- Ladle soup into regular serving bowls.
- Top with a few of your favorite croutons and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella (or Parmesan) cheese.
