Enjoy this hearty homemade easy stuffed pepper soup recipe with simple ingredients that will have you enjoying it in less than an hour.
This stuffed pepper soup recipe is very similar to my stuffed cabbage soup. You are getting all the flavor of the original dish, however, you don't have to work as hard. Stuffing peppers is not nearly as difficult as making stuffed cabbage but it still makes a great soup and it's quick and easy.
Basically you are browning ground beef and onions in a large pot. Then you add in tomatoes, chopped peppers, and broth. Bring it to a boil and add in your rice, then simmer until it's done.
Pretty easy right?
It's one of those easy meals that can sit on the stove for a while. Let everyone help themselves to a bowl or serve it family-style around the table.
Stuffed Pepper Soup Variations
- The first obvious one is to use different peppers. Red, yellow, and orange bell peppers are a given. However, I think poblano peppers could be really nice in this too.
- Use different kinds of rice. I love Uncle Ben's Original Converted long grain rice. That's what I was brought up on. However, short grain rice will work just fine, as would brown rice. I think you could even try orzo which is actually pasta but would probably work well in this soup. Or consider making it low-carb by using cauliflower rice.
- Switch up the broth. Chicken broth, and vegetable broth or bouillon would work perfectly fine in this recipe. If you don't have any broth just add water.
- You could use a different ground meat such as pork, chicken, or turkey. In fact, I'm sure a plant based meat substitute would be perfect for those who do not eat meat.
And, like most soup recipes it freezes pretty well too. Just place the leftovers in an airtight container suitable for the freezer and don't forget about it. (That's what I sometimes do.) You can easily thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat it in the microwave.
A hearty, warm, and cozy dish that works so well during the cold weather months. However, it is also so tasty you just might not care what time of year it is.
