Sorry for the delay in getting this recipe posted. I have made two different versions of this soup. I am going to post the version that I think is the best. 
Pizza Soup
1 small can tomato paste
2 cans diced tomatoes with basil, garlic & oregano
1 can Great Northern Beans, drained & rinsed
1 can light red kidney beans, drained & rinsed
1 small onion chopped
1/3 cup chopped green peppers
2 cups water
1 pound extra lean (95%) ground beef, browned & drained
1 box frozen LIGHT Texas Toast, optional
2% mozzarella cheese
Combine all ingredients in crockpot and cook on low for four hours. Bake Texas Toast according to directions.
Ladle 1 cup of soup in to a bowl and top with 1/2 slice of Texas toast. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese.
9 servings total: I serving: 242 calories, 3 grams fat, 5.6 grams fiber this does NOT include 1/2 slice of Texas toast or cheese.
Note: The light Texas Toast that I purchased has 65 calories, 2.25 grams fat & .5 grams fiber for 1/2 slice.
The original recipe called for one pound of any meat of your choice. The second time I made this, I threw in some turkey pepperoni along with the hamburger. Sausage is also tasty.
My girls inhale this soup. Sydney actually asked for this soup again last night for supper.
