Stuffed Pepper Soup
3/4lb ground beef
1 C onion, diced
1 large stalk celery, sliced
2 small cloves garlic, minced
1 very large, or 1 1/2 large green bell peppers, 1/2" dice
14.5oz can of diced tomatoes, with juice
2 1/2 C liquid, any combo of chicken stock/bullion/water
1 heaping Tblsp tomato paste
a few shakes of celery seed
a few shakes Italian Seasoning
Chicken Better Than Bullion-if needed to bump up the flavor, I used 1 tsp
S&P to taste-I have Mushroom Salt so I used it
Rice, cooked-I used brown rice
- Brown the ground beef and pour off any fat.
- Add onion and celery, cook for 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and peppers, cook for 5 minutes.
- Add everything except the rice, bring to a boil, reduce to simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes or until the peppers are done to your liking.
- When ready to serve, add a big spoonful of rice on top of your soup and enjoy!
- I used 1 C chicken stock the rest water, all stock would be best, all water with added bullion is fine.
- I chose to add the rice separately because I won't be eating this all at one sitting and rice doesn't freeze very well (for me). If you will be eating it all you could cook the rice in the soup, it would help thicken the broth, I think that would be good! Add more water for the rice.
- Someone suggested adding Rotel... I like that idea!
- I'm very pleased with this nice easy soup and see myself making it often.
Darlin' I never open a cookbook for ideas anymore, I just pop over here and something yummy is on display!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fantastic! My hubby wouldn't eat stuffed peppers, but I have a feeling he'd love this soup!
ReplyDeleteI had Stuffed Pepper Soup at our local deli last month and it was awesome! I'm so happy you've posted this recipe. I will surely give it a try.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I LOVE hamburger in soups!
This recipe reminds me of a hamburger soup recipe I have used for years. Mine has other veg. in it but the rest of the ingredients look the same. We say it is a cure all too and is always on the stove when a bad cold rears it's ugly head. xo
ReplyDeleteI have never had stuffed pepper soup, but I know that I would love it. Your photo is beautiful too. My father used to make a barley-hamburger soup that I loved. Joni
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy! I am so ready for soup weather. My Chipper Chicken Soup was the first I've made all summer. I will be adding this one to my list of ones to make. Thanks for stopping by this week and leaving me sweet comments. So glad you enjoyed the Cowboy Coffee Cake too. Thanks again for featuring it. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Hi Lynnie! Oh, this looks so good. You're the best cook! No wonder little Earl stays around! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, I'm back. What a summer this has been. Actually, much like all of our summers. Lots of company and long trips in the car with camping and grandkids week. Finally a surprise trip from a long time friend in CA. Finally, time for my blog friends once again. I have missed you.
ReplyDeleteThis soup sounds so good I am making it tomorrow. I have all the ingredients so why not? My mom used hamburger for soup when we were kids a lot. (six kids) Besides, we are having early Fall weather. Beautiful and in the 50's at night.
I scrolled down to see what I have missed and those pickles sound so good. The grape pie is beautiful but I doubt I would make it. Maybe if I had them growing on my fence. I'm glad to see Earl is still offering his opinions. HA!
Happy days to you and yours,
xo, Jeanne
