This soup is absolutely amazing. Because they go so well together, I suggest serving it with warm, fresh bread.

I thought it was really bland
added more meat, another 1/2 lb, and one red pepper. it was great. no cinnamon.
I love stuff pepper! This is recipe is actually inspiring me to make Ramen with stuff pepper.
came out great
We made this using ground turkey (2lbs) also we switched the water for beef broth and added a lot of rice. Also substituted tomato sauce for the juice and omitted the cinnamon and the sugar. Cooked this in the crockpot for 8-10 hrs on low. Family loved it even though the rice was a bit much and was more like a stew/chili.
Please use beef or vege broth in place of water. Orzo is good in this soup instead of rice. We cook the rice in a separate pot, add after soup is cooked. Husband and kids like it best with a can of tomato soup added, also mixed vegetables. Use broth at the end to get cositancy you like. (Also think twice before adding cinnamon).
This is my favorite recipe for stuffed pepper soup. I omit the sugar and cinnamon.
Turned out great
Awesome soup! I used Costco’s Ancient Grains (has rice, quinoa, and other healthy grains) instead of plain rice. And I made it in my pressure cooker. My hubby is on his second bowl! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Everyone loved this soup. I don’t care for stuffed peppers, probably because I don’t care for green peppers. But I still like this soup. Super easy. I didn’t measure, just threw it all in. Making sure I had a high ratio of green peppers. Omitted the cinnamon. I think it should freeze well, so I plan to make a few big batches with our garden harvest and freeze.
This tastes great! I doubled the recipe. I didn’t add cinnamon as I never would use cinnamon in my stuffed peppers. And I doubled the amount of rice cause I like it thick. I used beef bouillon in place of salt because I never used just water in ANY recipe.
Did not add the cinnamon as don’t use that in my stuffed peppers recipes; used Worcester sauce which I commonly put in stuffed peppers. Very tasty, will make again. Easier than making stuffed peppers.
Four stars with the cinnamon and sugar, 5 stars without. Will definately make again.
This is one of my go to recipes. I make it as written except I don’t add the cinnamon. Thanks for a great recipe
This recipe was a good start. It was way too sweet for me. I made. The following changes: cut the brown sugar to 2tsp and omitted the cinnamon . added 1 chopped onion, added another bell pepper, 2 crushed garlic cloves, and 12 oz of tomato purée , more salt, little dash of creole seasoning and season salt. Now it tastes like stuffed peppers.
This is delicious! I double the recipe and instead of the sugar and cinnamon, I add a tsp. of hot Hungarian paprika. It’s a family favorite.
This was great. Left the cinnamon out because for some reason when the recipe printed it wasn’t listed in the ingredients. Wouldn’t change a thing.
My young kids loved this. Was easy to eat for a 3 year old and a 17 mo old. I thought it was delicious too. I didn’t cook it with the rice so I reduced the water by 1/2 a cup. Cooked the rice separate so I could eat it with no carbs. mixed in the rice for the kids and wife’s portions. I liked the cinnamon.
Very good, I didn’t add the cinnamon just because I have tried cinnamon in chili before and didn’t care for it. I didn’t have any celery but thought it still taste great w/I it. Will make again. I doubled the recipe so we could have leftovers!!
VERY FLAVORFUL AND COMFORTY. WILL DEFINITELY MAKE AGAIN.
Great recipe. Freezes really well and works better as leftovers than do regular stuffed peppers.
