Yield: Yield: 4 main-course servings


INGREDIENTS



2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cups cubed pepperoni
2 cups finely chopped yellow onions
1 cup finely chopped celery
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped basil
1½ tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsl
1 tablespoon finely chopped oregano
½ teaspoon garlic salt

1 cup tomato sauce
Salt and freshly ground pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium saucepan, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the pepperoni and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's lightly browned, about 8 minutes.

3. Add the tomato puree and cook over medium heat, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the wine and reduce the liquid by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato juice, tomato sauce and 1 cup of water. Bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Remove the soup from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among 4 bowls and top with the mozzarella and croutons. Serve immediately.
