Peace, family

Summer is winding down and soup season is on the horizon. The temps here in Texas are still touching the low 90s, but that doesn’t mean I’m not ready for all things Fall – football, fall produce, pumpkin patches, hoodies, hay-rides, hot drinks, and cozy evenings with my family.

This is my absolute favorite time of year, and I’m kicking the season off with this stuffed pepper soup. Each bite is reminiscent of traditional stuffed bell peppers. This soup is spicy, savory, warm, and absolutely comforting.  We’ve omitted rice for a low-carb option, but the soup doesn’t lose any of its heartiness. Let me introduce you to the star players.

What Ingredients Will I Need?

Red, yellow, and orange bell pepper in a tan produce bag.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil – this will be used for sautéing the peppers, garlic, and onion.
  • Bell Peppers – the star ingredient; I use a blend of red, yellow, and orange bell pepper in this recipe. 
  • Garlic – fresh garlic gloves, minced
  • Onion – a small yellow
  • Basil – freshly chopped basil
  • Sage – fresh sage adds warmth and depth to the soup
  • Italian Sausage – Hot Italian sausage is part of what makes this soup spicy. You may opt to use mild sausage
  • Mushrooms – the mushroom adds bulkiness to replace the rice in this soup for a lower carb option
  • Diced Tomatoes – canned
  • Tomato Sauce – canned
  • Beef Broth – low-sodium
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Chili Powder
  • Cayenne
  • Parsley, chopped

Optional Toppings

  • Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  • Sour Cream

How Many Servings Does This Make?

This recipe makes approximately 15 servings, with each serving being 1 cup.

Can Stuffed Pepper Soup Be Frozen?

One of the benefits of cooking soup is that it usually makes a ton, giving you plenty of leftovers. You can absolutely freeze this soup. This comes in handy on those fall and winter days, when you may be short on ingredients, time, or patience.

Here are some tips for freezing soup

  • Allow the soup to cool completely before placing into the freezer
  • Remember not to overfill whatever container you’ll be freezing your soup in. Liquids expand as they freeze – or so I was taught in elementary school.
  • You can use quart containers to freeze your soup, but if you’re short on space try using ziplock bags. Ladle the soup into the bag (you may choose to double bag to avoid a messy situation) and freeze it laying flat on its side.

Is Stuffed Pepper Soup Keto?

Each serving of this soup contains approximately 5 net grams of carbs per serving, making it perfectly suitable for a low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle. Furthermore, this soup is gluten-free.

Instructions

Diced bell peppers in a white bowl

To a large pot, add the extra virgin olive oil and heat for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and onion, and cook until they just begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, basil and sage, and allow to cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Add the remaining ingredients – mushrooms, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, salt, pepper, chili powder, cayenne. Stir well and allow the soup to come to a gentle boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover with lid, and allow to cook for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the fresh parsley prior to serving.

Taste the soup for salt, adding more if needed (½ teaspoon at a time)

That’s it! Easy as can be and done in no time at all. This is a simple and easy “dump” recipe that will have your weeknight dinner on the table in record time.
