Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe

Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
• 3–4 cups beef broth (adjust for thickness)
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1 cup cooked white or brown rice

Instructions:

1. Brown the meat:
   In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Sauté vegetables:
   Add chopped onion, garlic, and bell peppers to the pot. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened.
3. Add liquids and seasoning:
   Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
4. Simmer:
   Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 25–30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
5. Add rice:
   Stir in the cooked rice just before serving. If you add it too early, it may absorb too much liquid.
6. Serve hot:
   Garnish with shredded cheese or fresh parsley if desired.
