Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 bell peppers (cored, seeded and diced)
  • 8 cups beef broth (or broth of choice)
  • 14 ounces diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup long grain enriched white rice (rinsed)
  • minced parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pan and saute until translucent, about 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Add ground beef to the pan along with dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Using a wooden spoon, carefully break up the beef into bite-sized pieces. Continue cooking until beef is browned, about 7-8 minutes.
  3. Stir in bell peppers to the pan and cook an additional 3-4 minutes. This is a good time to another pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Add the broth and tomatoes to the pot then stir well. Bring soup to a boil before adding in the rinsed rice and one more pinch salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley to serve.

Notes

  • The longer the rice sits in the soup, the larger it will get as it absorbs more of the liquid. I don’t mind the texture but if you prefer the rice a bit more firm, don’t overcook in the liquid.
