Figuring out the Healthy Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe
I first had this in a cafeteria at school. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I gave it a try. See, it pays to try something new once in a while. I liked it so much, I recreated the recipe at home. It did take me a few tries, but i think the recipe I created tastes very similar to what I had and when I do make this sweet pepper soup, it does not last for long. I would bet that even your most picky eater will east this. It is a very satisfying soup and has now become one of our family’s favorite soups.
Ingredients in This Green Pepper Soup Recipe
As soon as the weather starts turning cool, it is soup time in my house. I love to whip up a pot of green pepper soup. It is rich and hearty meal with a few simple ingredients. Unfortunately, it doesn’t last long in my house.
Ingredients
- Olive Oil. if you use extra lean ground chuck, it has a tendency to stick to the pan. Therefore, I use a bit of olive oil to start off the recipe in a large pot.
- Ground Beef. I prefer ground chuck as it is a lean ground beef
- Tomato Soup
- Diced Tomatoes, not drained, pour the whole can in, or cut up fresh
- Celery, diced
- Diced Onions, a medium onion
- Garlic, minced
- Sweet Peppers, diced. It can be green peppers, red, yellow, or mini-peppers.
- Chicken Broth, you could use beef broth if you prefer a deeper flavor
- Granulated Sugar
- Rice. You can use long grain rice, instant rice, or pre-cooked leftover rice
- Water, just enough to fill the kettle, 2-3 cups
Green Pepper Soup Recipe
Our cold winters here call for soups all winter long. I work long hours so I try to have a soup available for the family to heat up. I don’t have to worry so much about if they have something good to eat. This is much better than grabbing chips or something else similar.
Enjoy with a piece of crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich. Serve with a side salad.
A quick and easy meal perfect for those busy nights.
How to Make Sweet Pepper Soup
You’re going to love this soup if you like the traditional stuffed bell peppers. It has all the same flavors, but is so easy to make! Instead of stuffing bell peppers individually, you put all the ingredients in one pot and make a delicious soup.
In a large pot add the olive oil and ground beef. Cook on medium-high heat breaking up the hamburger into small pieces as it is cooking.
When the hamburger is cooked through, add the celery, onion, sweet peppers, and garlic. Cover and cook until the vegetables are cooked through.
Next add the tomato soup, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, sugar, rice, and salt and pepper to taste.
Add enough additional water to achieve the desired thickness of the soup.
Bring to a boil and turn off heat; keeping pan covered. The rice will complete cooking in the hot soup in about 30 minutes. Enjoy!

4 or 5 pounds of hamburger?
Are you sure? That is a lot of meat.
Yes, my family complains if there is too much liquid. So, I normally use a 4 or 5 pound package of hamburger. The are happy and no complaining, so I do use that much. However, you can save money by adding less hamburger if you wish. The recipe still turns out delicious.
