# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Scoop hot soup into bowls, then sprinkle each bowl with grated mozzarella. Let it hang out for a few minutes to get all melty.
02 -
Now toss in those basil leaves and adjust the salt and pepper until it tastes just how you want.
03 -
Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, a little sugar, pepperoni, and your chicken broth. Stir it all, crank up the heat till it boils, then turn it down and let it bubble gently for 10 minutes.
04 -
Toss in your garlic, oregano, basil, and marjoram. Give it a stir and let it cook just till it smells awesome — about a minute.
05 -
Throw in the diced onion and bell pepper. Let them cook, stirring now and then till they're soft. Should only take a few minutes.
06 -
Get your olive oil hot in a big pot. Drop in the sausage, break it up with your spoon, and cook until it loses all the pink color.
# Additional Tips:

Try both spicy and regular sausage to keep things interesting.

Mushrooms or your favorite veggies can totally go in too.
