A Recipe for Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup
You won’t find a more comforting soup than this one, which has all the flavors you’d expect from a hearty homemade soup. It takes me back to my childhood and the comfort of my own house. One bowl of this substantial soup contains an abundance of deliciousness.
I was talking to the other cooks about stuffed peppers at the restaurant where I work. We choose to prepare a soup using comparable ingredients. Customers gave a resoundingly enthusiastic feedback!
Ingredients:
Pepper, one teaspoon
Approximately 2 cups of long-grain rice, cooked
Tomato sauce, one 28-ounce can
14 cup of brown sugar, packed
Green peppers, about 2 cups worth of chopped
The equivalent of 2 pounds of ground beef
Diced tomatoes, one 28-ounce can (no draining necessary)
2.25 grams of salt
Approximately 6 cups of water
Parsley, fresh and chopped (but not required)
beef bouillon granules (two tablespoons’ worth)
To make beef that is no longer pink, cook it in a Dutch oven over medium heat while stirring it occasionally until it is no longer pink. While stirring, bring to a boil and add the rest of the ingredients. The peppers should be cooked for 30 minutes, covered, on low heat.
After adding the cooked rice, continue cooking for another 10 minutes with the lid off. If you like, you can top it off with some chopped fresh parsley.
Answering the Question, “What goes well with stuffed pepper soup?”
Because of the ground beef, peppers, and rice, this stuffed pepper soup may stand on its own as a meal. This soup’s warming flavor would go wonderfully with the peppers’ subtle sweetness. You can choose between jalapeno buttermilk cornbread or sour cream and cheddar biscuits. To have a heartier supper, toss the soup with a grilled cheese sandwich made with Garlic Fontina Bread.
Second, I can’t decide whether I use light brown sugar or dark.
Both dark brown sugar and light brown sugar can be used in place of each other in most recipes. For a deeper flavor, go for dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. How you choose to proceed is entirely up to you.
Does peeling peppers before adding them to soup really make a difference?
Because their skins are so tender and digestible, bell peppers are rarely peeled. Even in completely smooth soups like our Red Pepper Soup, the peppers are diced and cooked without being peeled.
Besides the traditional method, what are some other approaches to preparing stuffed pepper soup?
There is so much room for improvement in this stuffed pepper soup! Here is a collection of stuffed pepper recipes to get you started. Half of the ground beef can be substituted with sausage (mild or spicy) or ground chicken or turkey. When making homemade chili, add the chili powder, beans, and other ingredients, and then serve with sour cream or cheese on top. Sauté the beef with some minced garlic or garlic powder if you have a taste for garlic; if you want things spicy, use some cayenne pepper or chopped tomatoes with chilies. Brown rice, quinoa, barley, and even orzo pasta can be used as a substitute for long grain rice. When serving rice, avoid stirring in the soup but instead spoon it on top of the rice in separate bowls due to the rice’s high absorption rate.
