Ingredients for Stuffed Pepper Soup

  • Meat: I use both beef and Italian sausage for great flavor. Feel free to use turkey sausage, all beef, or even ground turkey or pork. If skipping the sausage, add extra seasonings.
  • Onion and Garlic: These add flavor to the soup; fresh garlic is best, but garlic powder works in a pinch.
  • Tomatoes: A combination of crushed and diced tomatoes gives the soup body. No need to drain. Crushed tomatoes can be replaced with tomato sauce.
  • Beef Broth: Use either beef broth or beef stock in this recipe. Replace beef with chicken broth if desired.
  • Bell Peppers: I use red and green peppers, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Red, yellow, and orange peppers are sweeter, while green peppers are a bit more zesty.
  • Rice: Use cooked white or brown rice – cooking it separately ensures it doesn’t get mushy in the soup. Leftover long grain rice works great here. Keep it low-carb with cauliflower rice if you’d like!

How To Make Stuffed Pepper Soup

Stuffed pepper soup only takes about 35 minutes and can be made in just one pot with only a few minutes of prep!

  1. Brown beef, onions, and garlic in a large pot. Drain.
  2. Add remaining ingredients (per recipe below) except rice and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes.
  3. Finally, stir in the cooked rice and parsley and heat for about 5 minutes.

The rice is cooked separately, meaning this soup reheats and freezes beautifully. If you’re planning for leftovers, add hot rice to each bowl and top with the soup. If you’re planning to serve the whole batch, stir the rice into the pot!
