Instructions
Make the Soup:

- Add the mushrooms, green pepper and kale; cook till the veggies are tender, about 6~8 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, ketchup, sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20~25 minutes. If using spinach, then add it during the last 5~7 minutes of simmering of the soup. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Make the 'Pizza' Croutons:
- Place bread slices on a parchment lined baking sheet. Top each with cheese and sprinkle oregano and crushed red pepper flakes. Broil for 2~3 minutes or until cheese is melted and bread is toasted.
To Serve:
- Divide the soup in bowls and top with cheesy 'pizza' croutons and Enjoy!!
Notes
- If using kale, add them to the pan along with the veggies.
- But if using spinach, then add it to the soup while the soup is simmering.
