Supreme Pizza Soup - 30 minute soup is savory and hearty. It is super easy and uses ingredients you probably already have on hand and just like pizza a family favorite!
optional toppings - shredded mozzerella, parmesan cheese, green onions
Instructions
Place a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the hamburger & Italian sausage and cook until browned, drain the fat.
While the meat is browning chop the bell peppers, mushroom, onion & mince the garlic.
Once you've drained the excess fat off the meat, add in the vegetables, season with black pepper & red pepper flakes. Fry for about 5 minutes just until they just begin to soften.
Add the pizza sauce, fire roasted tomatoes and beef stock. Stir well. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to remove those brown bits (that's where the flavor is!!!).
Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. As soon as it comes to a boil, reduce to low - add in the pesto, stir and simmer for 5 minutes. That's it, your soup is done! Serve & enjoy!!
