Stuffed Pepper Soup

An easy, hearty and comforting stuffed pepper soup. Made with simple ingredients and so easy to make, this soup is something the whole family will love. Makes about 11 cups. Varied mine to make it an italian-style stuffed pepper soup: I used a bit more sweet peppers (no green) and a bit less onion. I added another cup of water before simmering to get the consistency right for me. I used italian sausage to make this rather than ground beef.

Step 1

In a large pot heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat, once hot add beef to pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally while breaking up beef, until browned. Drain beef and pour onto a plate lined with paper towels, set aside.

Step 2

Heat remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil in pot then add onions, red bell pepper, green bell pepper and saute 3 minutes, then add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.

Step 3

Pour in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth and add parsley, basil, oregano and cooked beef, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring just to a light boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.

Step 4

While soup simmers, prepare rice according to directions listed on package, then once soup is done simmering stir in desired amount of cooked rice into soup.**

Step 5

Serve warm topped with optional cheese and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 6

Notes*For more flavor double up on the herbs. This is also good with 2 tsp Italian seasoning in place of basil and oregano.**For a thinner soup don't add all of the rice and for a thicker heartier soup add it all.**Also, if you plan on having it for leftovers the next day then don't add the rice to the pot of soup, just add it to each individual bowl, then reserve the rice in a separate container in refrigerator to add to the soup the next day (otherwise it would turn into mush).
