Hearty Stuffed Pepper Soup
A cozy bowl of comfort that brings all the flavor of stuffed peppers into a simple, easy soup.
recipesbynani.comThis soup is a favorite in my kitchen because it tastes just like a classic stuffed pepper but without the effort of stuffing and baking individual peppers. It is the perfect meal for a chilly evening when you want something filling and healthy for the whole family.
My top tip is to use a good quality beef broth to give the soup a deep, savory flavor base. If you like things a little spicy, you can stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes right at the end.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced

💡 Tips
Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can serve this with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese or a dollop of sour cream on top. If the soup gets too thick after sitting, just add a splash of water or broth when you reheat it.
