I love everything about this stuffed pepper soup. It’s so good and easily warms me from inside, out. This soup is also very inexpensive and incredibly delicious, creating a fun twist with sausage and ground beef simmered in beef broth with peppers, and tomatoes. The rice effortlessly makes this soup a complete filling meal perfect for cold nights!

Apart from the cabbage rolls, this soup has been on my family’s favourite list. Cold days are not over yet, so I am still making a lot of soup recipes. Just yesterday, I made this soup again. We love the flavours, and this also reheats perfectly! I like how this stuffed pepper soup takes minimal prep work compared to the traditional stuffed peppers, but still, guarantee the same goodness! For this soup, I prefer to add sausage because it gives tons of flavour to this soup. Although, if you prefer to stick to ground turkey, that’s perfectly fine, too!
