Pizza Soup
Pizza Soup combines Italian sausage, mushrooms, garlic, and tomatoes with classic pizza herbs and pepperoni for a rich, hearty broth. The sausage and vegetables are browned before simmering with crushed and diced tomatoes and dried spices. Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses add creamy finishing touches, and fresh herbs can garnish for brightness. This soup offers familiar pizza flavors in a warm, comforting bowl ideal for cooler days or casual meals.
