Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 bell peppers, diced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté with the beef until the onions become translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, allowing the garlic to become fragrant but not burn.
- Add diced bell peppers to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to soften slightly.
- Pour in the can of diced tomatoes with their juice, stirring to combine with the meat and vegetables.
- Add beef broth to the pot and stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and peppers to become tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt and pepper to preference.
- Serve hot in bowls, optionally garnishing with shredded cheese or fresh parsley if desired.
Tips
- Choose the Right Beef: For a leaner option, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. This will still give you a hearty texture while reducing fat content.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or corn for extra flavor and nutrition. Just chop them into small pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Enhance the Flavor: A splash of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of hot sauce can elevate the soup’s flavor profile, giving it an extra kick.
- Make it Ahead: This soup tastes even better the next day! Consider making a double batch and refrigerating or freezing leftovers for a quick meal later.
- Garnish for Presentation: Top your soup with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, or fresh parsley to add a pop of color and enhance the overall experience.
- Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of beef broth or let it simmer longer to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.Enjoy crafting this delicious Hoss's Stuffed Pepper Soup, and don’t hesitate to get creative with your ingredients!
