Stuffed Pepper Soup, a delicious and wholesome dish, combines the flavors of classic stuffed peppers with the heartiness of a comforting soup. This recipe brings together the best of both worlds, creating a delightful culinary experience that’s perfect for cozy evenings and family gatherings.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb Italian sausage
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 small finely chopped onion
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
4 c low sodium beef broth
2 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 can (14.5 oz) salsa tomatoes
3/4 cup raw rice (I use jasmine)
kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
How To Make Stuffed Pepper Soup:
In a pot or casserole over medium heat, brown the Italian sausage and ground beef; separating as you go.
In the middle of browning, add onions and peppers; stirring several times. During the last minute of browning, reduce heat to medium-low and add chopped garlic, stirring constantly. Drain the excess fat.
Add the beef broth, chicken broth and tomatoes to the salsa and simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the peppers begin to soften.
Add the rice and coat well. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the rice is tender. For best results, serve quickly. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Pro Tips:
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked rice or even quinoa.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of ground meat or meat alternatives for a healthier twist.
- Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes.
- This soup freezes well, so consider making a double batch for future meals.
