Sweet Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup
Posted in: Dinner Ideas, Food Photos, Soup/Stew Ideas |
After a long chili day I wanted a warm soupy dinner. That doesn’t sound right, but I’m sure you know what I mean.
A soup I had a few weeks back at a little local place inspired this dish. They had a stuffed pepper soup that was just simply amazing. It was comfort in a bowl. Such a simple idea, take the flavors and ingredients of stuffed peppers and turn it into a soup!
So that’s what I did, my way of course. Yet again, the husband and the toddler weren’t feeling it. The husband at least tried it but it’s just not his type of meal. It has to be exceptional if I put everything in the same pot. He prefers his dinners separated in neat protein, veggie, starch sections. Whatever, I now have 6 homemade lunches so I’m happy! 
- Medium onion diced
- Salt & Pepper
- 8oz lean ground beef (at least 90%)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3 bell peppers chopped (I used 1 each of red, green and yellow)
- 1 can stewed tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 3 cups beef or chicken broth
- ½ (100g) uncooked brown rice
- Dried parsley for garnish
- Non-stick cooking spray
Spray a large pot with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sprinkle with salt & pepper and allow them to sweat for a few minutes. Add the ground beef and brown.
While the beef is browning, chop the peppers, and puree the stewed tomatoes in the blender.
Once the beef is brown, stir in the chopped peppers and the diced tomatoes. Let the flavors mix a bit.
Add the pureed stewed tomatoes and chicken broth. Add the rice and crank the heat up to high. Bring everything to a boil then cover and reduce to a simmer. Continue to simmer for about ½ hour.
Serve!

Oh yum!!! This looks really good.
I had this soup at a restaurant once and it was SO good! I had completely forgotten about it until now-I am going to make it tonight!
This sounds great.. I wonder if itll be just as good without the meat.. Usually i make my stuffed peppers with just rice and veggies in them
Hi Roni! Your sites are the greatest and you are truly an inspiration. I read your site every day and look forward to your posts. A quick question for you - do you make brocolli & cheese soup? It’s one of my favorites, but not points friendly. I thought you might have come up with a better version.
Found your site by following the link on a comment on the Missypedia blog — this sounds so good, and I am going to try it soon! Other things look good here, too, so I’ll be baacccckkkk.
Well, wonders never cease, my husband loves this! I made this yesterday and the husband just tried it tonight and went out of his way (I may faint!) to tell me how perfect it was! Thanks so much for the recipe. I will definately be making this again before it warms up here, although its 18 degrees right now, I think I have time.
Roni, I made this last night and it was incredible! My mouth is watering thinking about the leftovers. Thanks for sharing this.
Made this for dinner today and LOVED it! I’m glad I have leftovers now.
I bet you could make this with cabbage instead of peppers and have “stuffed cabbage soup.” I may have to give that a try, too.
I made this for dinner last night and both the BF and I enjoyed it! Thanks!
Thanks guys!
Tammy - I don’t. But maybe I’ll take my had at it. Normally I’m a brothy soup kind of girl.
Made this for lunch today (with beef broth) and my husband and I both loved it. Thanks!
I made this a while back and froze the leftovers. Just like the lentil I will definetely make it again. I did not have any ground meat so I used a big can of chicken breast that I had on hand and I didn’t have the chopped tomatoes either so I used tomato sauce.
