Soup with pepperoni in a bowl

Pizza soup is the ultimate comfort food. This is the type of  soup kids and adults will love.Y’all know most kids love to eat anything called pizza. My 7 yr old LOVES it, especially with breadsticks on the side. Use bread sticks or rolls, french bread or whatever you like to sop up all the rich and flavorful soup. It’s so good! 

This one pot soup is easy to customize. If you love mushrooms, add them. Want extra ground beef add more. Prefer sausages? Then eliminate the ground beef. Feel free to add whatever you like.

I originally made this pepperoni soup recipe back in 2014 when I first started food blogging. The original photo was pretty awful.

When I make the soup again, I’ll make sure to do the process shots however, I’m sure you can manage to make it without the process shots. It’s super easy to make!

  3. Add the tomato paste and fire roasted tomatoes. Cook stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
