Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large pot to medium heat and add olive. Heat through. Add onion and chopped peppers. Stir and cook about 5 minutes to soften.
  2. Add garlic and cook another minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook 7-8 minutes, until the meat is cooked through.
  4. Add paprika, basil, oregano, paprika, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir and cook 1 minute.
  5. Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth and uncooked rice. Stir. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer. Simmer at least 20 minutes to let the flavors blend and the rice to cook. You can simmer longer if you'd like. I often simmer for 1 hour.
  6. Serve into bowls and add your favorite toppings. Load up your stuffed pepper soup!

Notes

  • For a soupier stuffed pepper soup, add 1-2 cups extra tomato sauce or beef stock.
