Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe

Move over Campbell soup. If you love stuffed green bell peppers, then this homemade stuffed pepper soup recipe is for you. The finished soup is very thick. It is more like a stew with very little broth. Of course, you can always add more beef broth, if you prefer. (See our “Tips and Suggestions” below.) As for me, I enjoy it nice and thick.

 We are absolutely certain that you will put this in the “favorites” section of your cookbook. This stuffed pepper soup recipe makes enough so you can freeze leftovers. It freezes well.

Preparation Time: 45 minutes (this does not include cooking time.
