"Found this in the Neighborhood Shopper printed by The Dallas Morning News. It is so good, so easy and low calorie. The meat can be pepperoni, Canadian bacon, bacon, Italian sausage, chicken, you get the picture... And the aroma while simmering is wonderful. My wife said next time make a huge batch so we can have leftovers."

Awesome soup! I pre-cooked a pound of Jimmy Dean sausage and broiled some pepperoni before putting them in to keep the fat down. We loved it! I think homemade croutons on top would really finish it by making a "crust " for the pizza.
