Stuffed Pepper Soup

Delicious Stuffed Pepper Soup in a Rustic Bowl

A hearty and flavorful soup inspired by classic stuffed peppers, combining ground beef, bell peppers, tomatoes, and rice in a savory broth that’s perfect for cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 large bell peppers (red, green, yellow), diced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
  5. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Stir in the cooked white rice and cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with cooked lentils or plant-based crumbles and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
