{ All the flavors of our favorite stuffed bell peppers…but faster!
Stuffed bell peppers can take a few hours to make and bake, this soup can be on the table in about 35 minutes! Perfect wintertime weeknight dinner idea!
I doubled the recipe to make LOTS for future lunches this week! }
makes about 8 servings
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs. lean ground beef or turkey meat
1 Tbsp avocado oil, or olive oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 red bell peppers, diced
2 green bell peppers, diced
2-3 cloves fresh garlic, minced or pressed
1 (14.5 oz) jar organic diced tomatoes with juice
1 (15 oz) jar organic tomato sauce
4 cups broth (I use chicken or beef…use your fave)
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 Tbsp smoked paprika
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (about 1/4 tsp each)
2 cups COOKED brown rice
a small bunch of fresh parsley leaves chopped, to garnish
Instructions:
Heat oil in a large pot or dutch oven, over medium heat. Add ground meat and cook, stirring while breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned.
Add onions, bell peppers, garlic and spices (dried basil, oregano and smoked paprika) and sauté for another 3 minutes, then season with sea salt and pepper.
Pour in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until flavors blend.
Stir in cooked brown rice, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
NOTE: If planing this recipe for meal prep, keep the cooked rice and soup into separate containers and only combine them before serving. Refrigerate for up to 5 days! ❤Rachel
