Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 95% lean
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 1 ½ cups Vidalia onions from about 1 medium/large onion, finely diced, sweet
- 1 ½ cups red bell pepper from about 1 large pepper, chopped
- ⅔ cup green bell pepper about half of 1 large pepper, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic chopped
- petite diced tomatoes I used no salt added, two 14.5-ounce cans
- 1 ¾ cups tomato sauce one 15-ounce can
- 2 cups reduced sodium fat-free chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon marjoram dried
- ½ teaspoon basil dried
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste, freshly ground
- 3 to 4 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley finely minced, fresh, Italian
- 3 cups rice cooked white or brown
Instructions
- To a large nonstick skillet or large Dutch oven, add the ground beef, kosher salt, and cook over medium-high heat to brown, crumbling it with a spatula as it cooks and tossing it to ensure even cooking. Cook through, about 5 minutes or as necessary. Drain fat if necessary.
- Add the onion, peppers, garlic, and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, or until vegetables have softened, stir intermittently.
- Line a 6-quart slow cooker with a slow cooker liner if desired and transfer the beef mixture into it.
- Add the broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, marjoram, basil, oregano, pepper, stir to combine, cover, and cook on high for about 4 hours or low for about 8 hours. All slow cookers vary in their heat intensity. Cook until done.
- Stir in the fresh parsley.
- Taste soup and make any necessary seasoning adjustments, i.e. more salt, pepper, pinch of sugar, etc.
- Ladle about 1 1/2 cups soup into each bowl and top with about 1/2 cup rice.
Notes
- Adapted from Skinnytaste Fast and Slow, reprinted with permission.
- Tip: Don’t add the rice to the slow cooker because if you have leftover soup, the rice will turn very mushy in the following days. Instead top individual bowls with rice that you store separately from the soup in an airtight container.
- Both soup and rice will keep airtight in the fridge, stored separately, for up to 5 days or for up to 3 months in the freezer.
