THE BEST STUFFED PEPPER SOUP RECIPE
This easy Stuffed Pepper Soup has all the flavors of stuffed peppers but in a soup. Ground beef, green pepper, onion, tomato soup, broth and seasonings! I still like my stuffed peppers the way my Mom made them using her SPANISH RICE as a filling. Also, be sure to check out my INSTANT POT STUFFED PEPPER SOUP if you have an electric pressure cooker!

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS HEARTY SOUP RECIPE:
- I always say to add salt and pepper to taste because I know salt is a sensitive seasoning for many people. The amount you use depends on if it is sea salt, kosher salt, table salt or salt substitute. So when adding salt and pepper, just keep adding a little at a time and stir, then taste after each addition until it gets up to the seasoning level that is right for you.
- Feel free to use your favorite ground meat in this. Italian sausage, ground pork or ground turkey will all work in this.
- The little bit of sugar in this recipe helps to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes and the tomato soup.
- This is a great recipe for leftover cooked rice.
- Red pepper or yellow pepper can be substituted for the green pepper.
- Generally, 1 cup of uncooked rice will make 3 cups of cooked rice.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
ground beef
onion
green pepper
diced tomatoes
tomato soup
chicken broth (or beef broth)
cooked rice
sugar
garlic powder
sugar
garlic powder
salt & pepper
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST STUFFED PEPPER SOUP:
Dice up the onion and green pepper.
In a large pot, brown and crumble ground beef along with diced green peppers and onion over medium-high heat.
When cooked, drain excess grease from beef mixture.
Put beef back into pot. Add in diced tomatoes, tomato soup and chicken broth (or beef broth).
Give it all a good stir. Then add in rice. Stir in seasonings; sugar, garlic powder, salt & pepper (to taste).
Cover and let soup simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes to let all the flavors blend. The longer it simmers - the thicker it will get as the rice continues to absorb the liquids.
And serve! Now, I think you have to serve this soup with shredded cheddar cheese on top. It ain't a stuffed pepper (in my humble opinion) unless it has cheese on there.

I make this recipe alot - always a favorite!
I like my topping to be a nice "blob" of sour cream.
Yumm! Looks warming and really filling soup!
This is delicious. I first had stuffed pepper soup several years ago when I was living in Wisconsin. It was one of the rotating soups at a restaurant I used to go to. I've tried to make it a few times, but it hasn't been quite right. I've bookmarked this one to try! Thanks!
Love this!
One of my favorites from childhood is stuffed peppers. Unfortunately, my stomach has turned against me. I can no longer eat green peppers. But, I can eat red ones if I keep the portion small. So, this sounds very good, with one minor exception ... I will use red peppers instead of green. Thanks.
I'm really liking your blog! Lots of good savory recipes and they're quick for weeknights!
I'm making this now! It's simmering on the stove and tastes delicious! Thanks for sharing this, Brandie! I love your simple, yet fulfilling meals! 🙂
I love making stuffed pepper soup, cabbage roll soup too.. but while m'honey love the real McCoy, he doenst really care for the soup version.. persnickity, huh. He eats it anyways I love it & I love the ease of the dish.. I enjoyed seeing your version.

Yay! I have a container of left over pepper stuffing in the freezer and wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with it. Now I know!
This recipe inspired me! I promise to post my recipe soon but I made it in the crock pot and modified a few ingredients to fit our dietary requirements. The hubby went NUTS. Thank you, Brandie, for inspiring a keeper.
Brandie- This looks soo yummy!! It is at the top of my "to make" list for this week! I was wondering which do you prefer... using the tomato soup or the tomato sauce?
Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Just made this for dinner and it was DELICIOUS! Thanks for the easy yet delicious recipe!
Amazing and delicious!
This is awesome! Great recipe that I know I'll be making a lot!
Does anyone prefer chicken broth over beef? I have an opened beef that needs used up, but thinking the chicken would be better? any suggestions?
I make this all the time with beef broth and it's great.
very good, just finished a bowl with a fresh loaf of Italian bread...I used chicken broth, traditional speg sauce and sharp cheddar.....
Great recipe! Loved stuffed green peppers as a kid so when I saw this recipe, I had to give it a try. It was great! In laws came over and kept going back for seconds! Thanks for sharing!
