Stuffed Pepper Soup

If you like stuffed green peppers, you’ll love this hearty soup.

• 2 lbs. ground beef
• 1 (28-oz.) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (28-oz.) can tomato sauce
• 1 (28-oz.) can water
• 2 cups chopped green peppers
• 2 cubes beef bouillon
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper, opt.
• 2 cups cooked rice

Brown beef in a Dutch oven over medium heat; drain.  Add tomatoes with juice and remaining ingredients, except rice.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until peppers are tender.  Add cooked rice and heat until hot.  Serve.

If you soup thickens and gets more like stew than soup, just add additional water or beef broth.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
