Slow Cooker Pizza Soup Ingredients

Tomato soup: For the base of this recipe you need two 23-ounce family-size cans of tomato soup.

Water: To create the perfect soup consistency, add in 6 cups of water.

Diced tomatoes: You need 2 cups of diced tomatoes, use fresh tomatoes if you prefer or canned.

Onion: Use 1 medium onion and dice it up to give this soup great flavor. This is an ingredient that I always cheat on. I buy frozen chopped onions from the frozen veggie section at the store and I always keep them stocked in my freezer. Saves so much time and a lot of watery eyes too.😉

Green pepper: Add 1 green pepper, diced, for a bit of added taste and color to this recipe.

Olives: For an authentic pizza feel, use one 4-ounce can of sliced black olives, drained.

Mushrooms: You will need one 8-ounce can of sliced mushrooms, drained, for an earthy soup taste.

Sausage: 1 pound of Italian sausage, browned, drained, and crumbled, adds some protein to this dish.

Pepperoni: For more protein and flavor, use a 6-ounce package of pepperoni, diced. You can use mini pepperonis if you want to save a few minutes.

Basil: Add in 1 ½ tablespoons of dried basil for a nice sharp herbal taste.

Oregano: Using 2 tablespoons of dried oregano adds a lovely earthy addition to this soup.

Onion powder: Adding 1 tablespoon of onion powder gives this dish more great flavor.

Garlic powder: Use 1 tablespoon of garlic powder will round out the incredible taste of this pizza soup.

How to make Slow Cooker Pizza Soup

Prep

Begin by preparing the vegetables, dice the tomatoes, onions, and green peppers into small chunks. Also, chop up the olives and mushrooms as well.

In a large skillet, cook the sausage and onions together until cooked through and slightly browned. While cooking, break up the sausage into small chunks, when done drain the excess fats, and pour the mixture into the slow cooker.

Assembly

Next add in the diced tomatoes, green peppers, olives, and mushrooms to the crockpot. Then pour in the tomato soup and water, stir to combine well.

Then add the sliced pepperoni to the mixture. You can cut the slices in half or keep them whole, whatever you prefer.

Lastly add all the seasonings to the mixture, the basil, oregano, onion, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine all the ingredients together.

Cook

Proceed to cook the soup on low heat for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.  

Serve immediately, if desired, top with mozzarella and/or parmesan cheese, and enjoy!

Variations of Pizza Soup Recipe

Vegetarian Options: For those who prefer a vegetarian diet, there are several variations of the pizza soup recipe that can be made without meat.

You can also add vegetarian meat substitutes like tofu or tempeh to the soup for a heartier meal. For a creamier soup, you can add a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup or a cup of heavy cream.

Meat Lovers’ Adaptation: If you’re a meat lover, you can adapt the pizza soup recipe by adding more meat or using different types of meat.

What to serve with Pizza Soup?

If you want to serve this soup as a main dish, adding a side will help make it a nice full meal. My favorite thing to serve with this amazing soup is bread.
