Browning the Meat and Sautéing Aromatics

First, heat your olive oil in that big pot.

Be sure to break it up as it cooks.

Drain off any extra grease right away.

Next, toss in the chopped onion.

Cook that until it gets soft, about five minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and the chopped peppers.

Let them cook for five minutes more.

Building the Broth Base

Now, pour in the crushed tomatoes.

Add the tomato sauce and the beef broth too.

Give everything a really good stir together.

Next come the seasonings.

Add the Worcestershire sauce, oregano, and basil.

Don’t forget the salt and black pepper.

Bring this whole mixture up to a nice simmer.

Cooking the Rice in the Stuffed Pepper Soup

Time to add the uncooked white rice now.

Stir it in so it gets totally coated.

Reduce the heat way down to low.

Cover the pot tightly with a lid.

Let your Stuffed Pepper Soup simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.

The rice must be tender when it’s done.

Stir it sometimes so nothing sticks to the bottom.

Taste it for seasoning before you serve it up hot.

Tips for a Foolproof Stuffed Pepper Soup

Even with our fixed recipe, small tweaks help.

Ben, our creative guy, loves to experiment here.

He says if your flavor seems dull, add a tiny splash of vinegar.

It brightens everything up in the Stuffed Pepper Soup.

Noah worries about the rice texture, naturally.

If the rice gets too mushy, here’s his trick.

Cook the rice separately in water first.

Then stir the cooked rice in right at the end.

This stops the soup from getting too thick later.

Remember, tasting is key to great cooking.

Adjust that salt level right before serving.
