Pizza Ramen Soup


New YouTube video will be up Thursday November 19th at 9am Central Time! Watch me make this over on my YouTube channel Faith, Food and Family!

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!

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

I don't know about you but I really enjoy ranch dressing. The stuff in the bottle is okay, but if you look at the ingredients it contains some not so good stuff like MSG and added sugar. It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe. It's super easy to make your own ranch mix. If you make a batch of this up, you can have it already on hand to make ranch dressing or add it into other recipes. Let's get started! Salt-free Ranch Dressing Mix Ingredients: 4 Tbsp of dried parsley 4 tsp of dried dill 4 tsp of onion powder 4 tsp of minced dried onion 2 tsp of garlic powder 1 tsp of ground black pepper Combine the spices in a bowl and from here you can process them for a bit in a mini food processor to mix well and make some of the parsley smaller or you can use a coffee grinder as a spice grinder. Then place in a contai

A Civil War Recipe..... Oatmeal Pie

Princess came home with an assignment to to a Civil War project. There were several options but she and I always gravitate to the ones that involve cooking. So we chose to make a recipe from the Civil War time to share with her class. Can I just say how grateful I am for the internet when it comes to these school projects? We looked online and found many different recipes. I wanted one that used ingredients I already had on hand and hopefully one that would be a bit tasty. I finally found a forum where people were sharing Civil War recipes and someone had shared one for Oatmeal Pie from Charleston, South Carolina. Apparently, during the Civil War, pecans were in short supply. So oatmeal was subbed for pecans to make a sort of mock pecan pie. This recipe is very tasty and really easy. It does remind me of a pecan pie, but at the same time a little reminiscent of an apple crisp because of the oatmeal and the cinnamon. Very delicious! I'm hoping her class really enjoys it.
