This is a family favorite. I've been making it ever since Stephanie first posted it! We've adapted it quite a lot to suit our family. My little one loves pasta but isn't too much of a soup fan.
I add a LOT of noodles to this and it ends up more like a casserole than it does a soup. It resembles a soup the first day but the leftovers are completely like a casserole.
So if you're looking for more of a soup, go ahead and add less noodles. It would be a much lighter soup that way too. Meanwhile, I'll make the kids happy and continue making it casserole style. Either way, I get to make it in my slow cooker which always works for me!

Great idea, pizza soup, it looks delicious and very hearty! I would love a big bowl of this, so cold, this would go over big with my kids!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fabulous but I think I will have to make the pizza sauce. Not sure if it is available here. Diane
ReplyDeleteLooks good, and nice it can be adapted to please everyone, thanks. I need to make some "pizza" flavored foods that are not actually pizza, I think I am missing out.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at pizza! Love this one - I need to go back to Stephanie's site - and use my crock pot more!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Monday Debbi!
I need to remember to use my crock pot more often! This looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
This looks really good! My little one doesn't care for soup either... but loves pasta.. so I would probably make it more casserole like too. Thanks for sharing this recipe! :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks good, Debbi!
ReplyDeletethat seems too yummy to be only 308 calories per serving. I would probably eat about 3 servings...thats my biggest problems, portion control.
ReplyDeleteIt is always wonderful to find foods that the kids will eat without equivocation. Actually, I don't blame them. This sounds great. Have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteThis does look good. I never thought about turning pizza into a soup but I can see how it is a family favorite.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious!! I am definitely going to be trying this - pizza is something I definitely have been missing since I've gone healthy.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I just wanted to tell you that I tried your butternut squash soup and it was divine! It made enough for an army, but that was a good thing because we were all fighting for who got to take it for lunch. Thanks for the recipe!
PIzza anything is fabulous. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYum! I can't wait to try this. My kids don't like pizza, but Im going to make it anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, not only would I love it but so would my little girl. Nice dinner here.
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for good crock pot recipes and this one looks great!
ReplyDeleteYes, please! Pizza and soup combined...that's sure to please in this house. sounds awesome, Debbi :)
ReplyDeleteYum!!! Hope you are feeling better?
ReplyDeleteI love crock pot recipes! How cool that you can serve it like a thick soup one day and a casserole the next day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous slow cooker recipe. My family loves pizza and pasta....what's not to love in this dish???
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing. Soup imy hubby will love. Thanks. I am bookmarking it.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. It sounds so delicious. After all of the rich holiday foods I always crave things like this. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteDeb I am printing this right now. We make a lasagna soup that is quite similar. I like my soup more casserole like too. When I was young I crushed enough crackers into every soup my mom served to make it a casserole and I still like thick, thick, thick.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I make a taco soup and the kids love it. I have a feeling that they would love this too.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at pizza also. I would eat it either way soup or casserole. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYour Pizza Soup looks really good warm and inviting. Thank you for sharing and have a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMmm I'll take pizza any way I can get it! Even better if it's a slow cooker meal!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful and great for the winter time.
ReplyDeleteSuch an easy going meal and so versatile. You can add or take out anything you want.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic! I love that it tastes great without being overly heavy. mmm. pizza.
