My mom’s friend shared this recipe with her more than 50 years ago. I've tweaked it over the years, and it's still a family favorite. Warm garlic bread is heavenly on the side. —Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

Test Kitchen tips
  • This one tastes like sausage pizza! Stir in your fave pizza toppers.
  • If your pizza preference leans toward pepperoni instead of sausage, you're in luck. Go ahead and use some pepperoni, but microwave it for about 20 seconds before adding it to the soup; you'll remove a lot of the grease that way.
