Stick pepperoni typically has a casing
around the outside, which definitely
should be removed before cooking. The
easiest way to do this is to score down the
length of the pepperoni with a knife, then
peel away the casing.
Instructions
Brown sausage and pepperoni in oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes; drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 1 Tbsp. drippings and return pot to burner.
Add mushrooms and sauté until they release their juices, 3 minutes. Add onion, bell peppers, garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to the pot; cook mixture until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes, broth, and olives along with the reserved meat mixture. Simmer soup until heated through, 10–12minutes.
Sear the mushrooms in drippings until their edges begin to brown, then add onion and peppers.
Canned tomatoes work better than fresh for this soup. A no-salt variety reduces the sodium considerably.
