Slow Cooker/Instant Pot Pizza Soup (Paleo,Whole30)

Pizza soup! Grab your favorite pizza ingredients for this easy paleo recipe that the entire family will enjoy. This can be made whole30 too.

Yesterday was national pepperoni pizza day so I made my the pizza soup recipe from my 1st cookbook, The Easy & Healthy Slow Cooker cookbook. Having not made it for a while, I forgot how much I enjoyed it. So much I felt the need to share it here.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

What I love about this recipe in particular is that it’s very versatile. Don’t like pepperoni? Use more ground beef. Don’t like mushrooms? Omit them. Or make this vegetarian and use all vegetables.

I’m marking this pizza soup as whole30 but I have yet to find a whole30 compliant pepperoni. If you know of one, please let me know. If you’re whole30 but can’t find compliant pepperoni like me, then substitute sausage, more ground beef, or more vegetables.

You can make this in your slow cooker or Instant Pot (electric pressure cooker). I used my slow cooker because I find it to be easier. Add everything, stir, cook. Instructions for both are listed below.
