How to make Stuffed Pepper Soup
Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef and season with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally to beak the beef. Cook until the beef is browned. Once browned, drain the excess oil from the beef and let it sit in a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 2: In the same pot, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the onions, red bell pepper, green bell pepper and saute for about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute for another 30 seconds.
Step 3: Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, parsley, basil, oregano, and cooked beef. Season with salt and pepper to taste. When it is lightly boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Step 4: Meanwhile, cooked the rice.
Step 5: When the soup stops simmering scoop the desired amount of rice and add it into the soup.
Step 6: Sprinkle the cheese and fresh parsley on top. Serve warm. Enjoy!
