Recipe: Pizza Soup

This is not my original recipe, I got this easy, delicious soup recipe from my friend Dionne. You can find her blog here. I was telling her that I am getting tired of tomato soup and grilled cheese and she told me about this family favorite at her home.

Pizza Soup
Ingredients:
Campbell's Tomato Soup (organic/ other brands OK too)
Tbsp Italian seasoning or Oregano
Hormel pepperoni (she does no nitrates) or Browned sausage
Grated cheese
Crumbled Ritz crackers or similar or French bread
Sauteed veggies (optional)

Directions:
Add the soup to a Dutch oven or large pot, adding Italian Seasoning/ Oregano. Add the pepperoni (I cut my pieces into 1/4's). Heat until it is hot. After pouring soup into bowls, add cheese and crumbled Ritz on top.

Enjoy! My family liked it! Thanks for the recipe, Dionne!

Genesis 27:1-20

When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called for Esau his older sonand said to him, “My son.”

“Here I am,” he answered.

Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death. Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me. Prepare me the kind of tasty food I like and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my blessing before I die.” Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country to hunt game and bring it back, Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau,  ‘Bring me some game and prepare me some tasty food to eat, so that I may give you my blessing in the presence of the Lord before I die.’  Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you: Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so I can prepare some tasty food for your father, just the way he likes it. Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing before he dies.”

 Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man while I have smooth skin. What if my father touches me? I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse on myself rather than a blessing.”

 His mother said to him, “My son, let the curse fall on me. Just do what I say; go and get them for me.”

 So he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and she prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it. Then Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her older son, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob. She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the goatskins. Then she handed to her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had made.

 He went to his father and said, “My father.”

“Yes, my son,” he answered. “Who is it?”

Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn. I have done as you told me. Please sit up and eat some of my game, so that you may give me your blessing.”

 Isaac asked his son, “How did you find it so quickly, my son?”

“The Lord your God gave me success,” he replied.
