Here’s a hearty, comforting Stuffed Pepper Soup recipe 🥣🌶️ — tastes just like stuffed peppers but in a cozy, spoonable form.
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2–3 bell peppers (any color), diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
- 4 cups beef or chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup uncooked rice (or 1 cup cooked rice added at the end)
- Optional garnish: shredded cheese, fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the meat
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef with diced onions until fully cooked.
- Drain excess fat.
- Add aromatics and peppers
- Stir in garlic and diced bell peppers. Cook 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add liquids and seasonings
- Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
- Stir well to combine.
- Add rice
- If using uncooked rice, add now. Simmer on low for 20–25 minutes until rice is tender.
- If using cooked rice, add at the very end just to warm through.
- Simmer & serve
- Let soup simmer 5–10 more minutes for flavors to meld.
- Serve hot, optionally topped with shredded cheese or parsley.
Tips
- Make it quicker: Use pre-cooked rice and frozen peppers.
- Extra flavor: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick.
- One-pot option: This soup is perfect for slow cookers — cook on low 6 hours, then add rice at the end.
If you want, I can give you a crockpot version of stuffed pepper soup that’s hands-off and extra flavorful 😄
