### How to Make Stuffed Pepper Soup

**1. Brown the meat:**
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, cook ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess fat.

**2. Sauté the veggies:**
Add onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook for 5–7 minutes until veggies are softened.

**3. Add liquids and seasonings:**
Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and spices. Bring to a gentle boil.

**4. Simmer:**
Reduce heat and let the soup simmer uncovered for about 25–30 minutes, allowing flavors to blend and the peppers to become tender.

**5. Add rice:**
Stir in the cooked rice and heat through for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

**6. Serve and enjoy:**
Ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheese, fresh parsley, or a dash of hot sauce if desired.

### Tips for Success

* **Use pre-cooked rice** to save time or stir in uncooked rice earlier with extra broth — just adjust cooking time.
* **Swap proteins** with ground turkey, chicken, or even plant-based alternatives.
* **Add extra veggies** like zucchini, corn, or spinach to boost nutrition.
* **Make it ahead!** The flavors get even better the next day.

### Freezing and Storage

* Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
* To freeze, cool completely and store in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months.
* If you plan to freeze, consider keeping the rice separate and adding it when reheating to avoid it getting mushy.
