2 Tbsp (30 mL) olive oil
2 onions, chopped
6 - 8 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-oz/796 mL) can crushed tomatoes

DIRECTIONS
Preheat your broiler.
Splash the olive oil into your soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring, as the onions soften, 2 or 3 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes, then stir in the oregano, your pizza toppings and the pepperoni.
Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a vigorous boil for a moment, then immediately reduce the heat to a slow, steady simmer and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors brighten and the textures soften, 10 minutes or so.
Pour into a bowl, and serve with cheese on top, the cheese should melt and taste heavenly!
ENJOY!!!
