Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe

Stuffed peppers are a favorite in my household.  My husband requests them quite often.   The recipe for this soup is actually very simple.  You’re simply taking all of the ingredients of a traditional stuffed pepper, and making it into a soup.  

And I have to say that this soup is so delicious. It makes for a very hearty and flavorful meal. It is also a very thick soup that has the consistency of a stew, so it is sure to fill you up.  I do believe that this will become a new favorite in our house.  I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine did.
