Instructions:
- Slice the mushrooms.

- Slice the pepperoni.
- Shred the mozzarella cheese if it's not already shredded.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, diced red pepper, and chopped onion to the pot.
- Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, until they are softened and the onions become translucent.
- Pour in 2 cups of pizza sauce.
- Add 1 cup of water.
- Drop in the 2 chicken broth cubes.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried oregano.
- Stir everything together until well combined.
- Add the sliced pepperoni to the soup.
- Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Gradually stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Continue to cook until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Ladle the hot Pepperoni Soup into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with additional shredded mozzarella or a sprinkle of dried oregano.
Tips:
- For a thicker soup, consider adding a tablespoon of flour when sautéing the vegetables.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, skip the pepperoni and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Feel free to get creative with your toppings—black olives, green peppers, and even sausage can add extra layers of flavor.
- Make sure to sauté the vegetables until they're tender to bring out their full flavor.
- Use freshly grated mozzarella cheese for a creamier, more melted texture.
- If you don't have pizza sauce, you can substitute with tomato sauce and a bit of Italian seasoning.
Your Pepperoni Soup is ready to be served. Each spoonful offers the comforting flavors of a classic pepperoni pizza, with the added benefit of being a warm and hearty soup. Top with extra cheese or some croutons for added texture, and enjoy this unique dish that combines the best of both worlds.
