This soup is so delcious and what's even better is that my super picky kid loves this! You can add other typical pizza toppings to this if you like. So many possibilities. This is also such a quick and easy recipe. I highly recommend it!
Pizza Ramen Soup
Adapted from The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cookbook by Peggy Paul Casella
Ingredients:
½ cup of diced pepperoni (about 2 ounces)
1 12oz bag of Cajun style mirepoix (onions, celery and green peppers) (you can also use fresh)
1-2 tbsp of minced garlic (go by taste, we like a lot of garlic)
1 quart of chicken broth or stock (I use unsalted)
1 15oz jar of pizza sauce
3 tbsp of grated parmesan cheese
One 3 ½ ounce package of unflavored instant, ramen noodles (I use dried udon noodles)
1 tbsp of Italian seasoning
1 tsp of oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Shredded mozzarella to top with or you can use fresh mozzarella
NOTE: You can add any typical pizza toppings you would like. This is just what we do. You can use mushrooms, ham, other peppers, sausage, tomatoes, whatever you like.
In a large saucepan, over medium heat sauté pepperoni until crisp. Remove the pepperoni and set aside, but leave the oils from the pepperoni in the pan. You will use it to sauté your veggies.
Add your frozen Cajun mirepoix mix or your fresh veggies and sauté until desired tenderness. Then add the minced garlic and your seasonings and sauté for around 30 seconds.
Pour in your chicken broth and pizza sauce and bring the soup to a boil. Once it has come to a boil, turn it medium low and allow it to simmer for 10 minutes.
Add your noodles once the soup has simmered for 10 minutes and cook until done. This will usually take 5-7 minutes.
You can taste the soup and adjust any seasonings as necessary.
Top individual servings with mozzarella and serve. This makes enough soup for 3-4 people.
Serving suggestions: You could serve this alongside a salad. Grilled cheese or even cheese quesadillas would be good as well. It’s also perfectly delicious by itself!
Hope you enjoy this recipe!
