This Stuffed Pepper Soup is full of ground sausage, onion, cabbage, spices and plenty of bell peppers! Marinara sauce and beef broth make up the soupy part of the soup. Make this soup when you’re want a change from making Lasagna Stuffed Peppers, Quinoa Stuffed Peppers or Taco Mini Stuffed Peppers. It’s a hearty, filling, delicious soup!
Ingredients needed:
turkey sausage or Italian sausage (can be replaced with ground beef, or use a combination of the two) onion marinara sauce (I like the Classico tomato-basil) low-sodium beef broth green and red bell peppers (mix it up and use orange or yellow too!) canned diced tomatoes shredded cabbage garlic balsamic vinegar (can substitute red wine vinegar) dried parsley, thyme, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper cayenne pepper (use more if you like things spicy!) quick cooking rice or cooked rice
How to make Stuffed Pepper Soup:
In a large saucepan, brown sausage and onion. Add bell peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, garlic, balsamic vinegar and spices.
Add in marinara sauce and beef broth, and simmer until the peppers are very tender.
Finally you’ll stir in rice- either quick-cooking rice or already cooked rice. If you’re low-carbing it, you can use cauliflower rice instead.
Make ahead instructions:
If you are planning on making Stuffed Pepper Soup ahead, prepare the soup without adding the rice. Store in the refrigerator or freezer. When ready to serve, warm over low heat, stir in the rice and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
How to store Stuffed Pepper Soup:
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freeze in an airtight container or large freezer zip baggie for up to 3 months. Re-heat on the stovetop over low heat. If you are planning on enjoying leftovers, it’s a good idea to prepare the rice separately and just add a little to each bowl when serving. Otherwise, the rice will tend to soak up the broth when stored. Or just be aware that if the rice sucks up the broth, you can just add more broth.
I love this Stuffed Pepper Soup for its fresh flavors and bright and pretty colors. It’s a good soup to warm you up on a cold day. Enjoy!
