Stuffed Pepper Soup is everything you love about traditional stuffed peppers—just transformed into a warm, comforting bowl of goodness. It’s hearty, flavorful, incredibly satisfying, and wonderfully easy to make. If you’re craving a cozy dinner that feels like a hug in a bowl, this recipe delivers every time.
This soup captures all the familiar flavors of the classic dish: seasoned ground beef, tender green peppers, fragrant onions, and a rich tomato base infused with thyme and sage. The addition of fluffy white rice makes the soup extra filling, giving it the perfect balance of protein, veggies, and comforting carbs. Every spoonful is thick, warm, and deeply savory.
What makes Stuffed Pepper Soup so appealing is its simplicity. After browning the beef and sautéing the vegetables, everything simmers together until the peppers soften and the broth develops its full flavor. A separate pot of rice cooks to tender perfection before being stirred into the pot, completing the transformation into a true comfort-food classic.
This soup is ideal for chilly evenings, meal prep, or anytime you need a satisfying one-pot meal that brings everyone to the table. Pair it with warm crusty bread, a side salad, or a sprinkle of cheese on top for an even more indulgent experience.
Whether you’re feeding a hungry family or stocking the fridge for the week, Stuffed Pepper Soup is a simple, hearty, and timeless recipe you’ll return to again and again.
