Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I was watching Ham on the Street a few nights ago (great show - I had never watched it before but it's quite entertaining), and the episode focused on pizza. He visited pizza shops, had a taste test to see if people on the street liked his toppings of carmelized onions and gorgonzola more than pepperoni, and made some pizza on pita bread that I have to try.
But the recipe on the show that I need to try right now is the Pepperoni Pizza Soup. What a great concept, pizza, but in a bowl! At first I thought it would be just some odd approximation of pizza, but this recipe actually sounds doable:
2 1/2 cups tomato-basil-garlic soup (if you can't find it with garlic, perhaps you can add a little in)
1 1/2 cups water
2 gloves of garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
2 green onions, diced
2 tsps dried oregano, plus a little more
1/3 cup diced pepperoni
1 cup grated mozzarella
1 cup grated cheddar
Preheat broiler. Put tomato soup, water and garlic into large pot and bring to a boil. Add macaroni, onions, oregano, and pepperoni and stir. When macaroni is cooked, pour it into over-safe bowls. Top with mozzarella and cheddar. Sprinkle oregano too. Broil until cheese is brown and bubbling.
I gotta try this. I think I'm going to up the amount of pepperoni and cheeses though. I'm wondering if adding the macaroni will make this more of a pasta dish than a pizza dish. Maybe Ham's option of putting this in a bread bowl will give it more of a pizza look and feel.

It changes the quality of flavors (bringing them out and making it a much richer, somewhat spicier thing) and contributes to the texture in a way that's tough to describe in a blog comment I'm making from work.
Most things like strombolis, pizza rolls, etc. Just put the pepperoni right in and the heat never really gets to it, detracting from the end result remarkably.

Mad William, thanks for the tip on the pepperoni. I'll fry it up a little before putting it in the soup!

Is somewhat similar, you get a bowl, you put some mayo, mustard, cheddar chesse, ketchup, water, cut pieces of meat and bread. Then you heat the thing up until the chesse is melted and the meat is cooked, and viola! you have your chesseburger soup.
you can eat it with a french fries milkshake but I think you already suppose how that would be prepared...
