Amish Pizza Soup
My sister sent me this recipe several months ago. Since she lived in the middle of Amish country she was constantly getting wonderful recipes from the Amish cooks who lived and worked nearby. She told me that Alex and I HAD to try this recipe. I don’t really know why it took me so long to try it, but after we had it I was sad I hadn’t made it sooner.The original recipe calls for using Tomato soup. However, since tomato soup contains wheat ingredients I had to make a couple of changes. If you don’t need to eat gluten free you can substitute the tomato sauce for two 10oz cans of tomato soup and two cans water.
The finished product is an amazingly rich and full flavored soup. It really seems like you are eating a pizza! Ideally if you were serving a multiple course meal this would make an amazing soup course. You could also cut down the ingredients and just serve it as a marinara sauce. It would be a delicious topping for breadsticks or garlic toast.
