This Paleo Pizza Soup is so delicious! Filled with all the flavors of pizza and so easy to make. Gluten free, dairy free, and whole30.
Pizza is my and my husbands favorite food- by far! I have my Pizza Crust recipe that I use regularly and Pizza Quiche for breakfast. Now I'm turning the best food into a soup!
I love that this soup is so customizable! Don't like mushrooms? Leave them out. Love peppers? Add them. Really, whatever you like on pizza, add it. I added our favorites and the flavors are amazing! The cheese is not missed- if you can believe that!! I used a chicken sausage that is Whole30 compliant, but you could also use a ground sausage or even ground beef. Everything is tossed into one pot and cooked until the onions and mushrooms are tender- which isn't long, so dinner is ready so quick.
I use jarred marinara for convenience and it does not compromise the flavor at all. I'm adding so many other flavor components that it all works perfectly. I talk more about Whole30 marinara in my pantry item post and the brands I like. I just make sure to read the label so I know nothing unwanted is added.
You will love this soup because it is so easy, hearty, flavorful, and healthy! I know I'll be making it all winter.

This is so good! I skipped the added garlic and onion, and made my own fire-roasted tomatoes with some different seasonings - thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. I used a little more of the fire-roasted tomatoes and cut the marinara sauce in half, adding a little water instead.
A few edits based on what I had available, but it turned out wonderfully! Thank you for the awesome recipe idea!

DO you have nutritional information! It was so good---but I need to put into my Fitbit!
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Amber- I don't calculate any nutritional facts for my recipes. You can use My Fitness Pal to calculate it if needed. Thanks for trying my recipe!
Jen says
Ive made so many of your recipes and am never disappointed. They are all so delicious, and i cant wait to try this soup! What brand of pepperoni did you use? Im having trouble finding a whole30 compliant version and i have a feeling the pepperoni would really give it that pizza flavor i'm craving...
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Jen- here is my usual response to that. A little note about the pepperoni and Whole30. I have heard both sides- that the dextrose in it is such a small amount that it doesn’t matter and others saying yes, it still counts as added sugar. If you’re not comfortable using it during your Whole30 then wait until your done to make this dish.
With that said- the dextrose is used in the curing process and no sugar is leftover but they still have to label it. I'm comfortable using pepperoni, but don't want to give you misleading advice. Hope that helps!
Amber says
I made this on Sunday night and have been eating it for lunch all week. It's fantastic! Tastes like spaghetti without the noodles! Lol! I've been doing Whole Thirty since the 2nd and this is the first thing to truly satisfy me! I loved it! Thank-you!
Jessica DeMay says

Michelle says
I just bought all of the ingredients for the soup and I'm excited to prepare this meal! I purchased uncooked chicken sausage from Whole Foods. Do I need to cook the sausae beforehand? Thanks!
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Michelle- yes, I would cook it, then add the marinara, tomatoes, and the rest of the ingredients. I hope you love it!
Michelle says
Hi Jessica! The soup was extremely chunky with very little liquid. So I used two jars of marinara (32oz. + 25oz.) but the it turned out great! Thank you! 🙂
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Michelle- yes, it's definitely thick. I'm glad you added more sauce to make it work for you. Thanks for trying my recipe- I'm happy you liked it!
Missy says
Good soup! A bit salty (and I like it salty!!). Next time I'll skip the salt.
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Missy! Thanks for trying it and for the feedback!
Jennifer Porter says
This sounds delish! Do you think you can do it in a crockpot? Our kitchen is in reno mode so I don't have access to a stove, but I'd love to try this if you think it would work!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Jennifer! Yes, I definitely think this would work in a crock-pot. Just throw everything in and turn it on. Enjoy!
Jenn says
Delicious!! I made it today in the crockpot. Low for 4 hrs and its soooo good! Thank you ?!
Jessica DeMay says
You're welcome, Jenn! Thank you for making it and for the great feedback! Good to know it works in the crockpot.
Neo says
I'm salivating! I need to make this? How long does it keep in the fridge?
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Neo! It lasts for 5-7 days in the fridge. I hope you try it!
Amanda says
Absolutely delicious! Thank you! I used hot Italian turkey sausage, doubled the pepperoni and cut mushrooms in half. Also used fresh garlic in addition to the powder. You're right it is so customizable!
For the hubs I made bow tie on the side and he loved it!
Jessica DeMay says
Thanks, Amanda! Oh, that hot sausage sounds delicious! Thank you for trying it- I'm so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
