Stuffed Pepper Soup

A hearty and comforting soup inspired by the classic stuffed pepper dish, packed with ground beef, rice, bell peppers, and a savory tomato broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 bell peppers (red, green, or yellow), diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and ground beef to the pot. Cook until beef is browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks.
  3. Drain excess fat if necessary, then stir in diced bell peppers and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Stir in cooked rice and continue simmering for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
  7. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.

Notes

For extra creaminess, stir in a splash of heavy cream or top each serving with shredded cheese and fresh parsley.
