Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground Italian sausage
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes, canned
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes (including the liquid), tomato paste, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Season with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in the sliced pepperoni and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. The heat from the soup will melt the cheese.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil, if desired, and serve hot.
