Here’s How to Make Stuffed Pepper Soup

Ingredients for Stuffed Green Bell Pepper Soup

2 pounds lean ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 garlic clove, pressed

6 cups water

1 large can tomato sauce (28 ounces)

1 large can diced tomatoes, undrained (28 ounces)

2 cups chopped green bell peppers

1/4 cup light brown sugar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons salt

2 beef bouillon cubes

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 cups cooked long grain rice

Chopped parsley for garnish

Directions for Making Stuffed Pepper Soup

1. In a Dutch oven or large pot, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, and garlic over medium heat until it is no longer pink. Break the meat in crumbles as you cook. Drain grease from the brown ground beef when done.
2. Stir in the following 9 ingredients in the soup pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, uncovered for about 30 minutes until peppers are tender.
3. Add cooked rice to the Dutch oven and cook for 10 minutes longer. Be sure to stir occasionally, so the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
4. Serve hot and garnish with fresh parsley.

Tips for Making Stuffed Pepper Soup

1. You can substitute orange peppers, yellow peppers, or red bell peppers for green peppers. You will yield a milder-tasting soup with sweet bell peppers.
2. Ground turkey or ground chicken can be used instead of ground beef.
3. For added flavor, substitute diced tomatoes with green chilies for plain diced tomatoes.
4. Add 1/4 cup of chopped celery while the meat cooks for more flavor.
5. Top the stuffed pepper soup with your favorite shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream for a beautiful presentation.
6. Brown rice, lentil, or quinoa substituted for white rice will make it healthier.
7. Add a couple of splashes of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes to make this soup a little spicier.
8. Try using cauliflower rice instead of white rice for a lower-carb soup version.
9. If you like your rice more firm, try putting some cooked rice in every bowl and ladle the soup on top.
10. Use two quarts of beef broth instead of the beef bouillon and water.
11. Shredded cabbage also makes a nice boost of nutrition to this soup recipe.
12. For a different version, substitute one pound of ground beef for one pound of Italian sausage.
13. If you like a thicker soup, cut back on the amount of water used.

15. You can substitute chicken broth for beef broth in a pinch, giving the soup a different flavor.

Stuffed pepper soup will last in the refrigerator for 3-4 days when stored correctly in an airtight container. Simply reheat when you want another bowl of this delicious soup!

Can you freeze stuffed pepper soup?

Healthy stuffed green pepper soup freezes well. For best results, freeze the soup before adding the rice. When you reheat your bowl of soup, add the cooked rice.

I like to freeze my soup in individual servings using this freezer tray with the lid on Amazon.
