Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

How to Make Cheese Pizza with Tomato Soup

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, typically about 12 inches in diameter for a classic pizza size.
3. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza peel dusted with flour or cornmeal to prevent sticking.
4. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, then add the dried oregano and garlic powder on top.
6. Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the cheese for added flavor and crispiness.
7. Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
8. While the pizza is baking, prepare the tomato soup. In a saucepan, combine the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth over medium heat. Stir well to combine.
9. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
10. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
11. Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
12. Serve the pizza hot with a bowl of creamy tomato soup on the side for dipping. Garnish the soup with fresh basil if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use high-quality mozzarella for the best melt and flavor.
• Preheat your oven thoroughly to achieve a crispy crust.
• Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like pepperoni, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
• Let the soup cool slightly before serving; it will thicken as it cools.

Easy Variations

• Vegetarian Pizza: Add your favorite vegetables such as spinach, olives, or artichokes.
• Spicy Kick: Incorporate crushed red pepper flakes into the pizza sauce for extra heat.
• Herbed Tomato Soup: Add basil or thyme to the soup for a fresh herb flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A simple side salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Garlic breadsticks for extra crunch.
• A glass of red wine or sparkling water for a refreshing drink.

Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a hot skillet for a few minutes to regain crispiness. The soup can also be refrigerated for 3-4 days and reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
