Italian Sausage Pizza Soup has all the flavors of pizza in a hearty, delicious, comforting bowl of soup! Plus 11 other delicious soup recipes for National Homemade Soup Day!
Ever since we had kids, I’ve been big on the idea of traditions. I’ve always loved the thought of my kids having tons of fun memories to look back on, and talk about when they’re older….and I love the possibility that they might even continue some of them when they have kids of their own!
Of course, the thing about traditions is you can’t force them to stick. And you really can’t predict the ones that will. Because traditions are developed slowly….over time….and what I find is that some of our favorite traditions aren’t at all the ones we set out to create!
A perfect example? Friday movie nights. I’m pretty sure the girls would rank them in their top 5 favorite family traditions, but to be honest, I have no idea when or how they even started! They were never in my “plan”….although I must say I’ve definitely grown to love them.
Italian Sausage Pizza Soup
We cozy up on the couch with our blankets and pjs, and equally important to the movie is…..the PIZZA!!! Sometimes we go with our favorite and sometimes we mix it up….but whatever we do, it’s always exactly how we want to be spending our Friday night.
Well, I know it’s only Thursday, and we’ll most likely (definitely) be having pizza tomorrow….but I couldn’t resist. This soup is like pizza in a bowl! Right down to the cheesy garlic bread croutons. If you love pizza as much as we do, you HAVE to try it!!

I have been pretty big on traditions since I had kiddos too. Pizza Friday was one of ours for a while but then it turned into pizza saturday. Not sure why 😛 This Pizza soup looks so comforting though, I’d eat it on any night!
What a clever adaption for a soup! I truly hope that movie nights will be a tradition as my son grows, they always were one for us growing up!
