Of course I have a pizza Soup recipe, No carrots, pre-mixed Italian seasoning, or chicken broth in mine; just good pizza stuff.
Chief's Pizza Soup
This soup should give you and idea of just how versatile soups can really be. I'll bet you've never had this variety.
Easier than pizza, tastes just as good. What more do I need to say. You can eat this stuff hot or cold. You can spoon it over rice, noodles, pasta, or use it as you would Au-Jus, with French Bread.
In this dish, we are going to combine a host of flavors to create a spectacular soup. And the beauty of this soup is that just as with a pizza, you can change the ingredients to make any flavor you wish. Here, we are going to make my favorite, the spicy meat lover's pizza soup.
Ingredients:
1 stick high quality, hot Pepperoni
1 stick Spanish, dry cured Chorizo
5 slices Hot Capicola
1/2 lb. bulk Italian Sausage
3 cups water
12 oz. Diced tomatoes, with juice
1/1/4 cup dried tomato
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium sweet onion cut into 8 equal wedges
1/4 tsp. Tarragon
1/8 tsp. Red Pepper seeds
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried basil
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/4 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1 tbs. Sugar
8 oz. Fresh Mushrooms
2 tbs. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp. Salt.
Heat the oil in a frying pan until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and salt. Cover and cook for five minutes over medium heat.
Fry the Italian sausage until cooked through. Rinse, drain, and place in a large sauce-pot. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the cheese, and cover. Cook over medium heat.
Check and stir the mushrooms. When soft, pour them and the oil into the saucepan. Stir. Taste and correct the seasoning (add salt and pepper to taste). Serve with buttered pasta or a hearty-whole grain bread, Bruschetta, or Texas toast garlic bread.
Bruschetta, Original Greek Recipe:
