A hearty and flavorful soup inspired by classic stuffed peppers, combining ground beef, bell peppers, tomatoes, and rice in a comforting broth perfect for any season.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth

  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  2. Add chopped onion, green and red bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried basil, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes to let flavors combine.
  5. Stir in the cooked rice and heat through for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with cooked lentils or plant-based crumbles and use vegetable broth instead of beef broth.
