Pizza and a Movie


Spicy Pizza Soup
allrecipes.com

1 3/8 pounds hot Italian sausage, sliced
1 pound pepperoni sausage, sliced
3 green bell peppers, chopped
2 onions, chopped
2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
3 cups crushed tomatoes with garlic
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
4 cups water
1 1/2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS

In a large saucepan, place the hot Italian sausage, pepperoni sausage, green bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste and water. Bring to a boil. Boil 30 minutes, reduce heat and simmer 90 minutes. During the final 15 minutes of cooking, stir in the elbow macaroni. Top with mozzarella and serve.


I also tossed in some oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Oh and a little sugar to cut the acid. Robin said he enjoyed this soup more than he expected. See he is a little scared of crazy ideas like pizza soup. But I had to make a pizza soup because the kids expect pizza every Friday Night. The kids indicated they liked it, but I think the would have like a milder, less straight tomato style soup. Collin made cheese pretzels just because he wanted to, so we had those with our soup.

The movie was My Neighbor Totoro directed by Hayao Miyazaki, whose work we greatly enjoy.
