Stuffed Pepper Soup

Today’s recipe is a hearty soup that has lots of flavor. When I say hearty, I don’t mean heavy. A filling soup that is healthy and delicious. The bell pepper flavor really shines through in this recipe.

Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup is definitely a retro recipe. I imaging it came about when the stuffed peppers had too much liquid in them. So someone said, hey, why not just make a soup out of them?

That was such a great idea!

What Color Bell Peppers Are Best?

I like a mix of both red and green bell peppers. I think the bell pepper flavor really comes through. Just use whatever color you can get. It will be delicious!

Instructions

Notes

  • *If you use ground beef, you can use either beef or chicken broth.
  • If you use ground turkey, I suggest using chicken broth.
  • 4 cups of broth yields a thick soup.
  • **5 cups of broth makes it a bit soupier.

    This soup was so good. It has more peppers in it than my old recipe, and I really liked the flavor.
