Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Protein

  • 1 pound ground beef

Vegetables

  • 3 bell peppers (red, green, or yellow), washed and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

Grains and Broth

  • 4 cups beef broth (gluten-free if necessary)
  • 1/2 cup uncooked long-grain white rice

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and chop the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Dice the tomatoes if using whole ones. Measure out the rice and have your seasonings ready.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart as you stir. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the chopped onions and garlic to the pot with the beef and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Then stir in the chopped bell peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Liquids and Rice: Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes. Stir in the uncooked rice and add all the seasonings. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  5. Simmer Until Tender: Cover the pot and let the soup cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice and peppers are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and check for seasoning adjustments.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once done, ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish as desired. This soup is best enjoyed fresh but stores beautifully for later.

Notes

  • Use fresh bell peppers for the best color and sweetness.
  • Let the soup simmer gently to allow the rice to absorb flavors without becoming mushy.
  • If the soup thickens too much, add extra broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Season gradually; add salt and spices in stages and taste as you go.
  • Long-grain white rice works well, but brown rice can be used for a nuttier texture.
