Instructions

How to make this easy stuffed pepper soup:

Begin by dicing the onion and bell peppers, then heat olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and bell peppers. Stir and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Next, add the ground turkey to the pan and brown, while crumbling for about 6-8 minutes. Then, stir in minced garlic, salt, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, cayenne and oregano.

Pour in the can of diced tomatoes, can of tomato sauce and chicken broth. Stir and bring the soup to a simmer. Turn down the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Open the lid, mix in the rice, turn the heat down to low and cook until the rice is done around 15-20 minutes.

Turn off heat, serve right away and enjoy!

Tips & Substitutions

• Rice. If planning to have leftovers or use as meal prep, use pre-cooked rice instead of uncooked rice. Uncooked rice will continue to absorb the liquid and result in mushy rice and a no liquid soup.
• Bell peppers. I used a red and green bell pepper but you can use yellow or orange instead. Use whatever color you prefer and/or have on hand.
• Ground turkey. Instead of ground turkey, you can use ground chicken, ground beef or ground pork.
• Slow cooking & pressure cooking. Sauté vegetables and brown ground turkey before slow cooking or pressure cooking. Then, add all ingredients, aside from rice into the cooker and stir. Slow cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Pressure cook on high for 20 minutes and allow a natural release for 10 minutes.

Notes

*NOTE: If you plan to have leftovers or use for meal prep, use pre-cooked rice instead of uncooked rice. Uncooked rice will continue to absorb the liquid in the soup causing it to become mushy. Cook rice according to package directions and add to the soup just before serving.
