Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- ½ cup onion finely diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 (15 ounce) tomato sauce canned
- 1 (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes canned, not drained
- 2 green bell pepper seeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon basil dried
- ¼ teaspoon oregano dried
- 2 cups white rice cooked
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- fresh parsley optional garnish, chopped
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook and stir the ground beef, onion and garlic until the meat is no longer pink; drain.
- Stir in the broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, bell peppers, brown sugar, basil and oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the peppers are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in the rice, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5-10 more minutes. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
- To thicken the soup, simmer the pot uncovered. You can also stir in additional rice. Add as much rice as necessary to reach the desired consistency.
- Use bulk Italian sausage instead of ground beef in this recipe, or try a combination of half sausage and half beef. You can also make the soup using ground turkey.
- Any variety of cooked rice will work in the soup. I prefer long-grain white rice, but brown rice or basmati rice are both good options, too.
- If you have access to fresh herbs, substitute 1 tablespoon of fresh minced basil and 1 tablespoon of fresh oregano for the dried herbs. Fresh parsley is also a nice addition, and serves as a pretty garnish, too!
- Use red bell peppers or other sweet bell peppers instead of the green bell peppers.
- Spicy Stuffed Pepper Soup: add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick!
