Ingredients  

  • 1 ½ cups uncooked rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 pounds lean ground beef
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 red bell pepper chopped finely
  • 2 green bell pepper chopped finely
  • 2 13.5 fluid ounce can tomato sauce
  • 2 28 fluid ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (with juices)
  • 8 cups chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions 

Cook the Rice:

  • Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Set aside once done.

Prepare the Soup Base:

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Cook the Ground Beef:

  • Add the lean ground beef to the pot with the onions.
  • Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 8-10 minutes.

Add the Garlic and Bell Peppers:

  • Stir in the minced garlic, chopped red bell peppers, and green bell peppers.
  • Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peppers start to soften.

Add the Tomatoes and Broth:

  • Pour in the tomato sauce, fire-roasted diced tomatoes with their juices, and chicken broth.
  • Stir to combine.

Season the Soup:

  • Add the Italian seasoning, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir well to ensure all the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Simmer the Soup:

  • Bring the soup to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Incorporate the Cooked Rice:

  • After the soup has simmered, add the cooked rice to the pot.
  • Stir well to combine, ensuring the rice is evenly distributed throughout the soup.

Adjust Seasoning:

  • Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt and pepper as desired.

Serve:

  • Ladle the stuffed pepper soup into bowls and serve hot.
  • Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley or grated cheese if desired.
