Contest-Winning Pizza Soup

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 5 min. Cook: 40 min. YIELD: 10 servings (about 2-1/2 quarts).
This robust soup is a family favorite, and it's a big hit with my canasta group as well. I top each bowl with a slice of toasted bread and cheese, but you can have fun incorporating other pizza toppings such as cooked sausage. —Jackie Brossard Kitchener, Ontario
