Pizza Soup

When you’ve got a craving for pizza, but want to keep things on the healthier side, pizza soup is the answer! I know it may sound a little odd, but when you put the vegetables, broth, tomatoes, pepperoni, ground beef and spices together, it really does have the same flavors as pizza!

You can serve the pizza soup alone, top with cheese, or serve with grain-free white dinner rolls if you’d like a bit of bread on the side. It’s a pretty simple recipe and I think it will become a new favorite addiction to your recipe collection.
