Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe

While stuffed bell pepper soup is ridiculously simple to make, you do need to plan ahead a little bit. It does take at least 45 minutes to simmer, but it’s so worth every second!

If you are in a bit of a hurry, make a batch of my Italian basil sausage soup! It cooks up in 30 minutes and tastes fantastic. Or if you are craving something with classic flavors go for my crockpot potato soup or homemade chicken noodle.

Step by Step Instructions

1. Cook the ground beef. First, heat oil in a Dutch oven or pot. Then brown the seasoned ground beef until it’s almost done.
2. Sauté the veggies. Toss in the diced onions and cook until they are done. Mix in the bell peppers and once they are soft, stir in the seasonings, broth, and tomato sauce.
3. After it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 45-60 minutes.
4. Cook the rice. You can make your stuffed pepper soup with either brown or white rice.
5. Add the rice. Mix in your cooked rice and serve your soup with some crusty bread. Enjoy!

Helpful Tips & Tricks

• Cut veggies the same size. When chopping the bell peppers and onions, it’s important to make uniform cuts that are bite-sized. You can use a mandolin slicer or a really sharp knife. This will ensure everything cooks evenly.
• Don’t drain the tomatoes. There is a lot of flavor in the juice of canned tomatoes. Add that to the pot to make it taste even better.
• Save time meal prepping. Chop all the veggies when you get home from the store and keep them in the fridge until you are ready to cook the recipe.
• Out of red peppers? No problem! You simply need around 2 cups of diced bell peppers. It doesn’t matter if they are green or red. Just make note that red peppers are sweeter than green.

Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe FAQ

How do you store leftover soup?

Let it cool down all the way, then pour it into airtight food storage containers. You can use one large container or smaller ones for individual servings. This stuffed bell pepper soup lasts around 4 days in the fridge. Or it can be frozen in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

NOTE: If you are planning to make leftovers, don’t add the rice until you are ready to serve it because it will turn mushy.

Can I use different broth?

Yes, vegetable broth or chicken broth are great alternatives. The flavor will change slightly, but it will still be delicious.

Enjoy!
