    🍴Ingredient Notes

    Overhead shot of stuffed pepper soup ingredients.
    • Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes - I like using the fire roasted diced tomatoes because it adds a nice flavor to this soup! If you don't have diced tomatoes, swap for crushed tomatoes.
    • Ground Beef - You can also sub with ground turkey! It's important to choose quality meat. I personally love Butcher Box meat because there are no added hormones, and the cows are grass fed AND grass finished.
    • Diced Bell Peppers - I used green bell peppers, but any color would work!
    • Cauliflower Rice - I used frozen, but fresh would work too!
    • Filtered Water - After you pour in the diced tomatoes, refill the can with water. You'll need about 28 ounces of water to thin out the broth.
    • Uncooked Basmati Rice - Any rice will work with this recipe. You'll need uncooked rice because it absorbs some of the liquid.
    • Cloves of Garlic, Minced - You can also swap for garlic powder. (About ½ teaspoon.)
    • Chili Powder - If you like a little extra kick, add an extra teaspoon.

    🍴Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1:

    Turn the burner to medium/high heat. Once the pot warms up, add in the meat, onions, and a pinch of salt. (If you're using fresh garlic, add that in too.) Stir around until the meat is broken up and 80% cooked through.

    Step 2:

    Next, add in the diced tomatoes, bell peppers, cauliflower rice, filtered water, salt, paprika, chili powder, and cumin. Stir well, turn the temperature to medium/low, and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for 20 minutes.

    • Ground beef and onions sautéing at the bottom of a soup pot.
    • Vegetables and tomatoes in pot with meat.

    Step 3:

    After 20 minutes, remove the cover and stir in the uncooked rice. Cover the pot and let simmer for another 15-20 minutes. (Or until rice is tender.) Serve hot!

    • Soup with basmati rice added on top.
    • Finished soup in pot.

    Helpful Tips

    • Prepare the peppers and onions with a vegetable chopper! It will save you so much time.
    • Fill the tomato can with water to save on cleaning an extra measuring cup. (If you use a 28 ounce can.)
    • Top the soup with cubed avocado, fresh cilantro, jalapenos, chips, or toasted tortillas.
    • If you are grain-free, skip the rice and use extra cauliflower rice. You could probably go without the water too.

    How to store leftovers

    Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for about 5 days. Any longer than 5 days, and I would put them in a freezer safe glass containers. (Preferably glass.) They will last for a few months in the freezer. I usually put half of the batch in the freezer for days I don’t feel like cooking! If you’re putting some of the soup directly into the freezer, make sure it cools completely before putting it in the freezer. 

    To reheat, just let the container defrost on the counter or in the refrigerator. You can add some soup to a microwave safe bowl and heat for a few minutes, or add a large amount to a sauce pan and reheat on the stove! (Cover and turn to medium heat - stirring occasionally.)
