How to Boil Water: Slow Cooker Pizza Soup

So we have pizza every Friday. We sometimes order out and sometimes we make a homemade pizza. Well, for this last Friday we decided on something a little different. And it also seemed pretty fitting for these chilling winter days.

I found this recipe on Mommy Hates Cooking, a blog I read on a regular basis.

Here's What You Need:
4 cups water
1 14-oz jar pizza sauce
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 4-oz can of sliced mushrooms, drained
1 diced tomato
1/8 can thinly sliced pepperoni, torn into tiny pieces
1 26-oz jar of tomato soup
1 tbsp dried rosemary
1 tbsp dried parsley
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 cup pasta
mozzarella cheese

Here's What You Do:
Spray a 5-quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.

Add in all ingredients except pasta and cheese. Let it all cook on low for 8 hours.

Pour in the pasta 30 minutes before you plan to serve it and let that cook until pasta is done.

Garnish with cheese and serve

I love easy meals. I love being able to just put everything in and forget about it. I love doing no work for dinner. I think that's why I love eating out or ordering in because as much as I love cooking (okay, you caught me - I have a love/hate relationship with cooking but that does mean that sometimes I love it), I love doing no work to eat.

If you are expecting this to taste like pizza than you will be a disappointed. This is much more like a fancy tomato soup. And at first I was unsure about it, but it was actually pretty good. It was easy and delicious. Rob absolutely loved this meal. So this one definitely made the favorites book.
