Stuffed Pepper Soup
Description
This soup is a deconstructed take on stuffed peppers, combining aromatics like chopped onions and garlic with browned ground beef seasoned with Italian seasoning and dried oregano. Fresh bell peppers are added for texture and sweetness, then simmered with crushed and diced tomatoes and beef broth for a rich base. White rice cooks in the broth, absorbing flavors and thickening the soup slightly. Worcestershire sauce enhances the savory depth. The method uses gentle simmering to tenderize ingredients without overcooking. The result is a warm, filling soup that captures essential stuffed pepper tastes, featuring tender beef, soft vegetables, and mildly spiced broth.
