# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Pour the hot soup into bowls. Sprinkle over your mozzarella and give it a minute or two to melt in. Grab a spoon and enjoy.
02 - Drop in the fresh basil bits, then toss in salt and pepper until it tastes just how you like it.
03 - Dump in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, sugar, pepperoni, and chicken stock. Stir well, boil everything, turn down the heat, and let it bubble for ten minutes.
04 - Toss your garlic, oregano, basil, and marjoram into the pot. Let it cook for about a minute so it smells awesome.
05 - Add green bell pepper and onion. Let them cook for three or four minutes until they're nice and soft.
06 - Start by pouring olive oil into a big pot on medium heat. Toss in the sausage and break it up—let it get all browned.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Try spicy and sweet sausage together for an extra flavor kick.
02 - Chuck in some mushrooms or more veggies if you'd like.
