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.
How Do I Make This Crock Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe More Spicy?
In order to add spice to tomato based soup recipes, I choose one of four different options (not all of them). Depending on who in the family likes it spicy, I may only add a little to each bowl, instead of to the whole pot.
- I add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red peppers.
- I add some Tabasco Sauce.
- I add cayenne pepper.
- I add black pepper.
Can I Make this Crock Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe for the Freezer?
Yes, definitely! Here’s the steps I take:
- Cook the ground beef in a skillet and drain.
- Chop vegetables.
- Add all ingredients to a freezer safe bag, except rice. Seal bag to ensure no leaking.
- Label bag and lay flat to freeze.
- Put note on bag that says to add rice to the slow cooker on cooking day.
- Freeze.
