Pizza Pasta Soup

Think of this as a hearty soup, suitable for stretching a little leftover bolognese. You could also use a jar of tomato sauce – a good quality one and add the same amount of stock to achieve a soup consistency. On other occasions, I’ve thrown in chopped, fried pepperoni, mushrooms or shredded chicken. A good sprinkle of mozzarella is a must and a big heap of grated Parmesan cheese for the top. Fresh basil or oregano is lovely, too. Get creative!

A great way to use up leftover tomato or Bolognese sauce. Simply add a handfull of pasta and some of your favourite 'toppings' such as chopped, fried pepperoni, mushrooms, or shredded chicken. Add grated mozzarella and a good handful of Parmesan cheese on the top.

    Love this! It’s pizza, pasta and a spag bol all in one. I never thought to use up leftover bolognaise in this way.

    Will be trying this when winter hits and I need soup for lunch!

    That looks divine Ren. I just want to dive in. I think Cooper would love it too. I’ll give it a try and let you know. Thanks for linking to me.

  5. Perfect soup for a cold and rainy September. I can imagine this with some crusty baguette to add extra carb comfort (in addition to the pasta of course!)

  6. Nice soup. My Italian daughter in law makes something similar, she adds baked beans and its called.. you guessed it Baked Bean Soup.

  7. This looks like a bowl of autumnal goodness that my family would adore… great idea for making leftovers go a bit further Ren. Thanks for linking to my after-school supper feature 🙂
