I think it's quite obvious that, by the increased volume of soup posts
I’ve shared over the past few months… I love soup! It’s great for a hearty
dinner, and also turns into wonderful leftovers that I can have for lunch at
work. I’m a huge fan of Ziploc Twist 'n Lock
containers because I worry less about spillage when I carry leftovers, especially soups, in my
purse. This recipe caught my eye because I really like stuffed peppers (evidenced here and here). I figured a soup version of stuffed peppers would be a big hit with both of us, and I was right! Better yet, it was really easy to make: cook the meat, combine the remaining ingredients, simmer, and enjoy! It was a little under-seasoned, so I added extra Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes, indicated below, and a lot of black pepper. In lieu of rice, this soup would also work with quinoa or small pasta such as stellini.
