I needed this soup in my life. Seriously, it’s like the perfect weight loss soup. It’s delicious, comforting, low calorie, high protein, and filled with nutrition. Even if weight loss is not the goal I guarantee your body will thank you for this soup.

The inspiration for this stuffed pepper soup recipe came from what most of my recipes are created from…leftovers. Last week, I chopped up a bunch of bell peppers for snacks and did not get a chance to eat all of them. I didn’t want to waste food so I started to do some Pinterest recipe research. I came across this stuffed pepper soup by Taste of Home and decided to give it a shot.

I gave it a healthier twist by using lean ground turkey and played with the spices a bit. It turned out amazing. I couldn’t stop tasting it.

Here’s a step by step.

In a little olive oil, I browned the turkey until it was no longer pink.

Then I added the peppers, Worcestershire sauce, spices, and cooked until the peppers were softened a bit.

Next I added the beef stock, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes.

I gave it a couple stirs, brought it to a boil, and then let it simmer for about 25 minutes – 30 minutes. I stirred in the rice and let it cook for about 10 minutes or until the rice was fully cooked. I used 1/4 cup of dry brown minute rice. But if you have cooked rice available you can stir in 1 – 1 1/2 cups of cooked rice or ladle the soup over rice.

I used my Le Creuset 5 1/1 quart dutch oven for this recipe. This is a great pot for soups, chills, and sauces. If you are looking for that one special cooking essential, this is it. Here is the one I have but in cherry color.

This soup is delicious. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect using bell peppers in a soup recipe. But I loved it. I froze the leftovers in 16-ounce mason jar containers for easy lunches and dinners.
