Pizza Soup

Have you ever wanted the taste of pizza with the ease of a crock pot recipe? This is just the ticket! So easy to put together, this soup gives all of the tastes of a pizza with 'the works.' I love recipes that can just be dumped together. I also love coming home to dinner being ready. This soup is great served as is or with a green salad and garlic toast on the side. I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine! One of my favorite perks of this recipe is that I can keep all of the ingredients on hand, either in the pantry or freezer, so I can make it at a moments notice. Have fun!

Pizza Soup

6-8 cups of your favorite pizza veggies, roughly chopped (I use onion, bell pepper, and sometimes mushrooms.  I buy them already chopped / sliced, the onion and bell pepper I get in the frozen section and the mushrooms I get jarred.  Broccoli would be a nice addition if you like it!)

6 cups canned / jarred spaghetti sauce - whatever your favorite kind is

8 oz. sliced pepperoni

12 oz. Italian sausage (links, uncooked)

8 oz. Canadian Bacon (or ham, cubed)

Water - amount will vary

1 pound dry pasta (rotini, shells, penne, whatever you like)

Mozarella cheese and parmesan cheese to top with when serving.

Instructions:
Dump veggies, spaghetti sauce, and meats into crock pot.  Add water until liquid level is about an inch from the top.  Cook on low for 8 hours.  Remove sausage links and slice - then return to soup.  Cook and drain pasta according to package directions and stir into soup just before serving. Ladle into bowls and top with cheeses.
