Loaded Pizza Soup
What is better on a cold winter's day then a delicious bowl of warm and hearty soup with a great sandwich? Of course a cold winter's day here in Fresno is when the temps dip down into the low 40's....so let's just pretend I'm still living in Green Bay, WI.
Ok....that's painting a better picture, right? Brrrr! If I was waking up in Wisconsin would have been to a cool 15 degrees this morning, eeek! That's just too cold for me, I'm a wimp now - way too acclimated to our warm Cali temps!
What is amazing about this soup is because we are taking some flavor shortcuts - Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, pizza sauce and pesto, it's going to taste like a soup that has simmered on the stove all day long, but in reality takes less than 30 minutes to cook!
What is Pizza Soup anyway?
This meal is like your favorite pizza in soup form and it will please even the pickiest eaters in your house. It is savory & hearty, but is super easy and uses ingredients you probably already have in your pantry and refrigerator!
