Stuffed Pepper Soup

This hearty Stuffed Pepper Soup combines the classic flavors of stuffed peppers with ground beef, tender bell peppers, tomatoes, and rice in a comforting, savory broth.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 large bell peppers (any color), diced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth (or chicken broth for a lighter flavor)
  • 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. Sauté the Vegetables

    Add chopped onion and garlic to the pot with the ground beef. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the diced bell peppers and cook for another 4-5 minutes until slightly tender.

  3. Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. Simmer the Soup

    Reduce heat to low and cover. Let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender and the flavors meld together.

  5. Add Cooked Rice

    Stir in the cooked rice and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to warm through. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  6. Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
