INGREDIENTS

1 LBS Lean ground beef
1 Taste Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
1 Small Yellow onion, diced
1 Large Red bell pepper, diced
1 Large Green bell pepper, diced
4 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 tsp Dried basil
1/2 tsp Dried oregano
1/2 tsp Dried thyme
2 cans (14.5-ounce) Fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 can (15-ounce) Tomato sauce
2 Cups Low-sodium beef broth
2 Cups Cooked white or brown rice
1 to taste Shaved parmesan and roughly chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Stuffed Pepper Soup Directions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and use a spatula to break it up. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the beef until browned, stirring occasionally. Once fully cooked, drain the beef and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in the pot, then add the onion and bell pepper and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme and saute another 30 seconds.
  3. Add the ground beef back to the pot along with the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and beef broth. Cover the pot, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, and stir occasionally for 20 minutes. Note: if you haven't yet pre-cooked your rice, you can cook it while the soup is simmering.
  4. Stir in the cooked rice. If you'd like a slightly thinner soup, feel free to add more broth. To serve, ladle into bowls and top with freshly chopped parsley.

Recipe notes

Each serving is about 2 cups

I recommend using 90% lean ground beef so that you don’t have any leftover grease to remove from the pot. If you use 80% ground beef, you’ll need to drain the pot before adding the veggies to saute.

You can substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for the ground beef.

You can substitute Italian seasoning for the individual spices.
