Crock Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe

I love eating soup in the winter!  We had several days of negative degree temperatures and soup is just what I needed to warm my body.  It’s my kind of comfort food!  It really does taste like stuffed peppers, too!

What is Stuffed Pepper Soup?

Stuffed pepper soup is a hearty and delicious soup made with rice, green peppers, rice, corn and ground beef all in a tomato based broth.  It’s made with a lot of the same ingredients that you find in stuffed peppers, and actually tastes just like stuffed peppers, but of course, in soup form.

Can I Make this Crock Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe for the Freezer?

Yes, definitely!  Here’s the steps I take:

1. Cook the ground beef in a skillet and drain.
2. Chop vegetables.
3. Add all ingredients to a freezer safe bag, except rice.  Seal bag to ensure no leaking.
4. Label bag and lay flat to freeze.
5. Put note on bag that says to add rice to the slow cooker on cooking day.
6. Freeze.

Ingredients

• 1-2 lbs ground beef
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 2 green peppers chopped
• 2 15 oz cans diced tomatoes undrained
• 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
• 1 15 oz can of water
• 1 can corn optional
• 1 cup brown rice if you choose to use instant or white, you will need to add it at the end or it will be mush
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 tsp parsley
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

Directions:

•  Brown ground beef.
• Chop 2 green peppers into strips and then cut strips in half.
• Dice one onion.
• Place all ingredients in slow cooker and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours.

Freezer to Slow Cooker Directions:

• Brown Ground Beef
• Chop Onions & Green Peppers
• Place all ingredients except rice in freezer safe bag.
• Label the bag and write a note to be sure to add the rice to the crockpot on the day of cooking.
• Lay it flat to freeze.

Notes

Hint, the longer this cooks, the more likely your rice is going to eat up all the liquid.  If you find your soup thick, you can add water to it until it reaches the consistency you'd like to see.  Also, if you use white rice, it will be mush.  If you plan to cook the rice in the slow cooker, you'll need a tougher grain, like brown rice.  If you prefer white rice, cook it separately and add it towards the end of its cooking time.
