Stuffed Pepper Soup

Phil found this recipe online and I knew right away it was going to be one we were going to like. We "tweeked" it a little bit to fit the ingredients we had here and this is what we came up with.

Take one pound of hamburger and brown it in a pan (mine is  a deep frying pan so I could do it all in one pan), with one small diced onion and some peppers. The recipe actually called for one green pepper but I was using the peppers that I had frozen through the year so mine were red, yellow and green and I put in more than what would equal just one. Probably 2 or 3.
Cook these together until the hamburger is done and drain off the grease.


While this is cooking you need to cook some rice. Enough so that you have about 2 cups when cooked (I cheat and use Boil n' Bag rice because I have never made good rice).

To your meat mixture add a couple of chopped garlic cloves (I was out and had to use powder), salt and pepper and 1 tablespoon sugar. Then add one can of tomato soup and one can of diced tomatoes with chilies (if using your own just add the tomatoes and a chopped up chili or two.). Add a can and a half or so of water. Mix well and add in your rice.


Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.


Sprinkle with cheese and enjoy! We used an Italian blend of 5 different cheeses.


We all really liked it. This was really simple and quick to make and I am sure we will be using this recipe again.

  1. I just used some of our peppers to make stuffed ones for lunch, I never thought of making a soup but I can tell that it would have a great taste. This should be good on a cool fall evening, thanks.

  4. Oh, that soup looks delicious! I could eat a bowl of it right now, even though it's in the mid-eighties! I love your spoon too! I didn't know you made them! Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama

  6. With reference to your comment "...I have never made good rice", why not buy an electric rice-boiler? They are cheap and very effective - perfect rice every time. We first started using one when we lived in Hong Kong, where all the Chinese people used them!

    1. I suppose I could but I usually just get the boil-in-bag stuff. It comes out perfect every time.
