How to Make Stuffed Pepper Soup

Stuffed Pepper Soup made with bell peppers, ground beef, and rice in a tomato broth.

Start with lean ground beef or I like to use ground chuck. The meat is quickly browned over medium-high heat and then the onions, garlic and bell peppers are added to the pot. Drain excess grease if you are not using lean ground beef.

Next stir in tomato sauce, beef broth and oregano.
This is simmered for a few minutes and then stir in cooked rice.
Garnish with chopped parsley.

Serving

Serve stuffed pepper soup in bowls with cornbread or cheddar beer bread and a side salad for a complete meal.

Recipe Notes

Optional Garnishes: Grated cheese, diced tomatoes, fresh basil.
Make it Low-Carb: Use cauliflower rice instead of white rice.
Meat Options: Italian sausage, ground chicken or ground turkey can also be used.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Reheat: Cook leftover soup in a pan over medium heat, stirring until heated through.

I love how this soup has all of the flavors of stuffed peppers but is much quicker and easier to make on a busy weeknight.

This is a great soup for garden vegetables. We grow a pretty big garden every summer and tomatoes and peppers are always plentiful.

I roast the garden fresh tomatoes, process them and make tomato sauce, then freeze it in zip top freezer bags. I chopped the extra bell peppers last summer and froze those as well. It makes recipes like this Easy Stuffed Pepper Soup incredibly simple.

You can use fresh peppers and store bought tomato sauce if that’s what you have on hand, either way this soup will taste delicious and is so flavorful. If you love the flavors of this soup, this easy Sausage and Pepper Rice dinner will also be a favorite. It’s so quick and easy.
