WHAT IS STUFFED PEPPER SOUP?

Stuffed Pepper Soup can be changed to suit your family’s appetites and therefore can have many different options. Easily change to roasted red pepper soup by using fire-roasted tomatoes instead of diced and red bell peppers instead of green.

You will love the comforting, warm flavors in this soup. The flavors and ingredients blend together beautifully. Plus, the rice gives it such a great texture and makes it even more filling.

One of the easiest ways to make this spicy soup is in a slow cooker. To make crockpot stuffed pepper soup, complete steps one and two from the recipe card instructions below. Then, put the meat mixture along with the other ingredients – except the rice – in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 hours. It’s incredibly easy.

 

Looking for a refreshing salad to pair with this spicy soup? Try my Copycat Olive Garden Salad & Dressing or my Loaded Spinach Salad with Homemade Creamy Roasted Garlic Dressing.

I feel like this salad is hearty all on its own – but it’s also delicious topped with some Homemade Croutons or a slice of Peasant Bread if you want to carb it up a bit!

INGREDIENTS FOR STUFFED GREEN PEPPER SOUP
