| Pizza Soup |
"If you can't get out of it, get into it." -Outward Bound Motto
When I am doing my long runs when training for a marathon, I
get really hungry after I’m finished running.
I have been known to eat an entire pizza. I am not proud of
that and can’t even say an entire frozen foos pizza tasted all that good. It's hot, but the crust is like cardboard. Eating all those calories in one sitting kind of defeat the purpose of running.
So I modified this recipe as a substitute. It may not be
health food, but it is lots healthier then eating an entire pizza. I paired
this soup with garlic bread, a salad and an orange for desert to prevent muscle
cramps. The tomatoes add a nice shot of
vitamin C to build the immune system.
I love this soup because you can adjust it based on what you
have on hand and what you normally like on your pizza. If you like black olives
feel free to add those or leave out the green peppers or mushrooms. I used tomato sauce made from roma tomatoes
from my garden and I also grew and froze the green peppers I used. So I have just a little bit of summer in this soup. Something to look forward to !
