Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, for topping

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers to the pot. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cooked white rice during the last 5 minutes of simmering. This prevents the rice from becoming mushy.
  6. Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed.
  7. Ladle the hearty soup into bowls. Top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian stuffed pepper soup, substitute the ground beef with 1 (15 ounce) can of drained and rinsed lentils or 1 cup of chopped mushrooms.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, use 1/2 cup of uncooked rice and add an extra cup of broth, simmering until the rice is tender (this will add about 15 minutes to the cook time).
  • This easy soup dinner freezes well. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
