A hearty, healthy twist on a classic favorite dinner dish makes this stuffed pepper soup the perfect meal!
Growing up my mom used to make stuffed peppers and tomatoes all the time… I still love when she makes them! So, this is a twist on her stuffed peppers but in the form of a thick, hearty soup!
I’m a big soup fan! I love that they’re simple to make, perfect for chilly nights and make the bet leftovers. This stuffed pepper soup is no different… it’s now in rotation at our house!
I personally cook my rice separate and then add it into the soup because I’ve noticed if you cook it in the soup it tends to eat up a lot of the broth and turns out a little mushy… but feel free to play around with the recipe!
