Stuffed pepper soup brings all the classic flavors of stuffed bell peppers into a warm, hearty one-pot meal. Made with ground beef, sweet peppers, rice, and a rich tomato broth, it’s an easy and cozy dish perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2–3 bell peppers (red, green, or mixed), chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth or stock
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: crushed red pepper flakes, chopped parsley, shredded cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in chopped bell peppers and cook another 3–4 minutes.
  4. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, until peppers are tender.
  6. Stir in cooked rice and simmer 5 more minutes.
  7. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese or fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or sausage instead of beef for a flavor variation.
  • Swap rice for cauliflower rice for a low-carb version.
  • Add spinach or kale at the end for extra greens.
  • For a smoky flavor, add smoked paprika or use fire-roasted tomatoes.
  • To freeze, store soup and rice separately for best texture.
