Pizza Soup

Preparation

1. Step 1

   In a 4-quart stockpot, cook the sausage and garlic over medium heat for 5 minutes, breaking the sausage into small pieces with a spoon as it cooks.

   Step 2

   Stir in the bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Increase the heat to high. Cook until the vegetables have softened, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

   Step 3

   Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, covered, about 3 minutes.

   Step 4

   Break 2 to 3 ounces dried vermicelli into small pieces. Prepare using the package directions, omitting the salt and oil. Drain and add to the soup. Lots of pasta makes a very thick, stewy soup; less just adds a nice “chew.” (serves 5, 1 1/3 cups per serving).
