ANNUAL SOUP LUNCHEON

Greetings!  For many years, the Novelty Senior Center has had a fall fundraiser to help with expenses.  We again held a soup luncheon on the opening day of firearms deer season:  this year being Saturday November 10, 2018.

We served four kinds of soup:  chili, potato soup deluxe, broccoli-cheese, and pizza soup.  (Yes, pizza SOUP!)  Plus pie, cobbler, or cake and drinks.  All for a free-will donation.   PLUS we had a bake sale too.

    

A fairly good group came out, and several hunters came in to warm up with a bowl (or two) of hot soup!  Bake sale items were also purchased--pies and cookies were the best sellers!  Thanks to all who came in.

In case you are wondering (several have asked) here's the Pizza Soup recipe.  I have to admit, I am not a "measurer" for most recipes I fix, so the amounts are just a guess.  Made about a gallon.

                      PIZZA SOUP 

1 1/4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper (can use some red as well)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 cups chicken broth
1 can (15 oz) pizza sauce  (actually I used two cans)
1 cup chopped pepperoni
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup cooked Italian sausage (probably more to make the gallon)
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
 Shredded mozzarella cheese

     In a large saucepan, saute mushrooms, onions, and green pepper in oil for 2-3 minutes or until tender.  Add broth, pizza sauce, pepperoni, tomatoes, sausage, and Italian seasoning.  Bring to boil over medium heat.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Before serving stir in Parmesan cheese.  Garnish with mozzarella cheese.    NOTE:  You can add about any ingredient that you would find on the top of your favorite pizza.  MMMM!!!!
