February 9th is National Pizza Day. Get your menus planned and make a new pizza recipe, order pizza or make pizza soup which is the recipe at my table this soup season. Celebrate National Pizza Day with Pizza Soup Recipe.
Pizza History
National Pizza Day is always February 9th and no one knows when the day was created. Modern-day pizza was started in the 18th century in Naples. In the 19th century, the Italians brought the dish to the USA. It became popular after World War II and is now the most popular food in America. We go out for pizza, have it delivered, make it at home, heat frozen pizzas, or make it from scratch.
Pizza, Pizza, Pizza – My Favorites
I love pizza and have a few blogs of unusual pizzas I make at home. Here are the links for the recipes. Make one of these on National Pizza Day. Thai Pizza, Taco Pizza, BBQ Pizza.
I love pizza because you can be as creative as you want with it and top it with all your favorite meats, veggies, and even fruits. Pizza can be a good meal if you eat it in moderation and watch the high-fat toppings. After all, you can get your dairy, bread, veggie, meat, and fruit groups all in one dish.
Pizza Soup
One day I was cleaning out some old recipes and ran across pizza soup which I had not made yet. Like always, a new recipe is fun. This recipe was quick and tasty. Of course- I never follow the recipe as written so here is my take on Pizza Soup.
If you think you are going to miss the crust, I recommend making my easy breadsticks and using them to dip into the soup. You may not like the crust or you are gluten-free, so just make the pizza soup recipe and enjoy.
Pizza Soup Recipe
- 1 lb Italian turkey sausage in caseins
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 chopped red pepper
- 1 can 15-ounce cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 1 jar 14-ounce pizza sauce
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 32 ounces beef broth
Remove caseins from sausage and cook in a Dutch oven until crumbled and no longer pink. Add onion, peppers, and saute’ until tender. Drain off fat. Add the next 6 ingredients. Simmer for 20 minutes until all the flavors have combined. (You could make this in a crockpot for 6 hours on low.) Top with shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese and serve with breadsticks and a salad.
Easy Yogurt Breadstick Recipe
If we are having soup or spaghetti, I make these breadsticks in 25 minutes.
- 1 cup flour
- ¾ cup plain yogurt
- 2 Tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Mix the ingredients and form into a ball. Roll or pat onto a round pizza pan. Spread 1 TBSP olive oil over the top and sprinkle with garlic powder or herb and spice seasoning. Cut into breadsticks with a pizza cutter. Bake 350 degrees for 15 minutes and they are ready to eat.
Take some time and make pizza soup or a new pizza recipe to Celebrate National Pizza Day or any day of the week.
