Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey (gluten-free certified if needed)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), diced
• 28 ounces diced tomatoes (canned, no salt added)
• 15 ounces tomato sauce (gluten-free)
• 4 cups gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth
• 1.5 cups cooked white or brown rice (gluten-free certified if needed)
• 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish), chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and the onion is softened.

Step 4

Stir in the diced bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing them to slightly soften.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and gluten-free broth to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Season the soup with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 7

Simmer the soup for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Stir in the cooked rice and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes to warm the rice through. Adjust seasonings to taste, if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your gluten-free stuffed pepper soup!
