This stuffed pepper soup recipe is super easy to prep. I used ground turkey but you can use any ground meat you’d like (or leave it out for a vegetarian option).

2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute
3. Add the ground turkey and cook until no longer pink
4. Add all the other ingredients: bell peppers, diced tomatoes, spices and rice
5. Cover and cook until veggies are soft and rice is cooked though, approximately 30 minutes
6. Enjoy!

Can I make this stuffed bell pepper soup paleo? Low Carb? Yes, leave out the rice, and use paleo-compliant worcestershire sauce. Vegetarian? Yes, leave out the meat. Gluten-free? Make sure your worcestershire sauce is GF and you are good to go!

Can I freeze this stuffed bell pepper soup? Yes! I love freezing my soup in 1 quart jars or in these reusable plastic freezer jars.

Can I swap the ground turkey out? Yes, any ground meat will work in here!
