Servings: 6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon garlic infused olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage (Note 1)
- 5 ounces mini pepperoni (Note 2)
- ½ cup green pepper chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth (Note 3)
- 1 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes undrained
- 1 15 ounces canned tomato sauce
- 1 4 ounces canned mushrooms drained
- 1 2.25 ounces sliced black olives drained
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded (Note 4)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- fresh basil
Instructions
- Heat a 5-quart stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the garlic infused olive oil and Italian sausage. Break the sausage into small pieces and cook until no pink remains.
- Add the diced green pepper to the pot and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Pour in a small splash of chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Add the remaining chicken broth.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, drained mushrooms, and drained black olives.
- Add the Italian seasoning, white sugar, sea salt, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Ladle into bowls and top with shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and fresh basil before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Notes
Note 1: For a lower fat option, use turkey Italian sausage.
Note 2: If you cannot find mini pepperoni, chop regular-sized pepperoni into fourths.
Note 3: For low FODMAP, use a chicken broth without onions or garlic.
Note 4: For the ultimate melt, shred the mozzarella cheese yourself.
