Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe

Reviewed on Jun. 13, 2013 by lisa53202

Despite the 97 degree temperature, I made this because of all the peppers from our garden. We thought it was a tasty soup. I did add onion, garlic and Worcestershire sauce and substituted beef broth for the water.

I do substitute beef broth and it could use more green peppers, but it is yummy on a cold night. I think that it's funny that some folks substitute all of the ingredients. Is it still the same recipe?:)

Wow.. this was a hit during the latest deep freeze in the NE. I followed some suggestions here and added an onion & minced garlic to the beef. Used beef stock instead of water. Marinara sauce instead of plain tomato & diced tomatoes with jalapeño added. Brown rice, because its what I had on hand. I added a cup more peppers, rice & sauce. Before serving a nice sprinkle of Parmesan cheese is a must...it isn't stuffed peppers without the cheese. My family & neighbors enjoyed this so much..I may never make traditional stuffed peppers again. Thank you TOH & Hoss's!! Another keeper recipe!!

One of the most delicious soups to make when it's cold outside! So many flavor layers! I did use ground turkey, added some Worcestershire sauce, vegetable stock instead of water, used Honey instead of sugar, quinoa instead of rice and used 1 can of Italian diced tomatoes and 1 can of fire roasted diced tomatoes.

Very good! I cooked the hamburger and peppers together and added an onion. Substituted beef broth for the water and left out the beef bouillon. Husband (a very picky eater) agreed that it was very good! We ate ours with a little cheese on top.

I own a deli and serve soups every day. I look for new ideas all the time. I saw this recipe, tried it, and it was a hit. I did substitute beef broth because I don't like water in soups. I also added more pepper and rice. this is a keeper for Plain Nuts Deli.

My husband and I enjoyed this soup. I made a few changes to make it smaller since there are just the two of us: 1# ground beef, 1 can beef broth (in place of water and boullion), 14 oz diced tomatoes, and cooked instant white rice (we had in pantry). Otherwise I made as listed and it was great. Much thicker the second day and was great with cornbread muffins.

I look for hearty soup recipes. This one is delicious and filling.

I made some modifications to it. I used venison sausage instead of beef, added 3 cups of rice instead of 2, reduced the pepper and eliminated the salt (only used the salt in the beef bouillon cubes). Served with homemade rye bread. Big hit.

Reviewed on Oct. 18, 2012 by kerisovery

Outstanding!

Some changes I made:

I browned the ground beef with a diced onion;

I also used one 14 oz can of diced tomatoes and one 14 oz can of diced tomatoes with habaneros for a bit of kick;

and used more rice to make the soup thicker.

Reviewed on Oct. 17, 2012 by voodoowitch

Very good. I did make a couple changes though. I was worried about the brown sugar since I don't like meat to have any sweetness to it so I gradually added white sugar and decided 1 T. was enough. I also added a t. of garlic powder. As for the rice, I added a cup of uncooked instant rice toward the end of cooking time and it was still plenty "soupy". Oh, and I also added a small chopped onion when I browned the burger.

Reviewed on Oct. 13, 2012 by mmartelle

I tweaked the recipe a bit. I only had 1 lb of ground beef. I did not use tomato sauce, just the diced tomatoes (28 oz). I used only about 3 cups of water and only 1/8 c of brown sugar. I added a diced onion, minced garlic, about 1 tbsp of worestershire, and a few dashes of hot pepper sauce. Since I reduced the amount of brown sugar, I added just a dash of clove. Instead of rice, I added 1 c of barley. IT WAS AMAZING!

Reviewed on Oct. 12, 2012 by jcham53

Recipe was very good, with the exception of the rice. I think it would work better with uncooked long grain rice. Otherwise the soup is too watery. I ended up using 2x the amount of rice called for to make it thicker.

My family is very pleased with this recipe! I did read through the reviews before making and decided to make some adjustments of my own. I started off by cooking the green peppers with 1lb of ground beef (not 2), which I seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, and a little seasoning and kosher salt. I also used beef stock instead of water and cut it back to about 46.5oz (1 32oz box container and one 14.5oz can) instead of 2 quarts. My family and I like a thicker consistency with our soups so I added a little at a time, making sure it was just right. I also used 3c of (cooked) instant brown rice (that's what I had in the pantry) since another review recommended it! This soup turned out way better than expected and my SO says it's definitely a keeper! I also liked the idea of serving it with bread so I added Hawaiian Sweet Rolls to our meal! Yummy!

Decided to try this recipe after my boyfriend requested stuffed peppers. We both thought the leftovers from this recipe would be better for reheating than actual stuffed peppers. Based on other reviews, I added a whole chopped onion & 3 cloves of garlic to the ground beef as it browned. I used 1.5 Quarts of reduced sodium beef broth and brown long grain rice. I also reduced the salt to 1 teaspoon and added 1 tablespoon of dried basil and 1 teaspoon each of dried rosemary and thyme. We topped it with shredded extra sharp cheddar and had crusty French bread on the side. It was extremely filling and fairly healthy. I used 93/7 lean ground beef, and with the additional spices, we found it very flavorful. I hope it will reheat well as my freezer is stocked full of it.

I love this recipe, but my problem isn't the recipe itself but the comment made by the "submitter" that leads pple to believe they created this recipe. The recipe has been around for a lot longer AND there's a starlite tavern in PA that has one of the first versions of this. Not this place. Good either way though and I recommend it.

I made this recipe with some slight variations. Diced half an onion and saute'd the peppers and onions in a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil for several minutes.

This was an awesome soup, but I did make a few changes as others did...used beef broth, added a large onion & a little garlic to meat when browning...Also spiced it up with a palm full of dried basil and a lesser amount of dried rosemary, thyme & marjoram....Tasted just like the stuffed peppers Mom used to make. Everyone gobbled it up (Also used sweet red and yellow peppers since some have digestion issues with the green)

This recipe was good. I used beef broth in place of the water and the boullion and also only used half of the amount called for, for a thicker soup. The flavor was rather mild and could use some spice, but it was good. I added velveeta cubes on top, that melted over the soup, which greatly enhanced the soup! Makes tasty leftovers too.

I thought the tomato base tasted on the bland side. So, like one of the reviewers, I added a couple dashes of garlic powder when browning the ground beef, which definately zips it up, plus, I added about 3-4 dashes of worcestershire sauce, and 3 shakes of cayenne pepper to the soup. This recipe is easily customizable to your family's taste buds! I will definately add to my recipe file! Thanks!

I made this recipe a few days ago and we are just finishing up the left-overs. This soup was GREAT. I did make a few changes to it but didn't do anything unusual. I used 1 1/2 lbs ground beef and added 4 cups of cooked rice to the soup. 2 cups of rice wasn't nearly enough. It had too much broth with that small amount. I did use Beef Stock instead of water because water doesn't "bring anything to the party" if you get my meaning. The soup was excellent and I will definitely make it again. Thank you for a wonderfull recipe!

This recipe does call for "2 cups COOKED long grain rice", so I don't know why it would turn out gummy. You are supposed to cook the rice before you add it to the soup. This is absolutely a wonderful soup. Even my husband who doesn't like stuffed peppers, or green peppers at all for that matter, loves this soup. I add a small chopped onion, and saute the onion and green pepper when I brown the ground beef. Drain. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Delish!
