Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound halal Italian sausage (casings removed)
1 medium onion (diced)
1 medium green bell pepper (diced)
2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 cups crushed tomatoes
3 cups marinara sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (non-animal rennet)
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup pitted green or black olives
1 package (10 oz) frozen dairy-free or meatless cheese cracker dough (for topping)
Instructions
Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium. Cook halal Italian sausage, breaking into small pieces, until no longer pink (5-7 minutes). Add onion and green bell pepper; sauté 8-10 minutes or until tender.
Stir in garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper; cook 1-2 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and marinara sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook 15 minutes.
Slowly whisk in half-and-half and add Parmesan, stirring until cheese is fully melted and soup is smooth. Continue simmering 5 minutes.
Ladle into bowls, top each with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella and battered cracker dough slices (bake separately for 8-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until golden). Let cheeses melt slightly before serving.
Notes
Use ground beef as an alternative to sausage if preferred. Substitute vegan mozzarella for a plant-based option. Add more hot pepperoni (pork-free) or Italian seasoning for extra warmth. Store leftovers in airtight containers for 3-4 days.
To serv délai, garnish with fresh basil or breadcrumbs for texture.
