When I was thinking about what I should make for dinner the other night I knew that I had to come up with a recipe that would use up some of the bell peppers I had in the fridge.  We're growing them in our garden and we have tons of green, orange and red ones that are on their way out.

I thought about making stuffed peppers or fajitas, but I decided I'd try a recipe I'd never made before.  I remembered seeing Stuffed Pepper Soup on Pinterest, so I googled it and found the perfect recipe on Skinnytaste.

Yes, I made soup in the middle of summer.  I'm a year-round soup kind of gal.

I had all of the ingredients on hand (always a plus), it came together in no time, AND my husband and my kids scarfed it down.  Win!  I am happy to add this family-friendly soup to the meal planning rotation!  If you're looking for a stuffed pepper recipe that's not a soup, check out my Simple Stuffed Peppers, a family favorite!

  1. Stuffed peppers are one of my favorite meals, and I love the idea of turning them into a soup! Soup in the summer is totally acceptable when it's this delicious!

    1. I haven't tried it that way, but I think it would work. I think I would cook the rice separately and add it at then end though.

  4. Should the cans of diced tomatoes be drained, or should the liquid be added as well?

    1. They should not be drained. Just dump the whole can in!

  6. Why is the rice added in the bowl instead of in the pot?

    1. You can add it to the pot if you want to. I just like the rice scooped on top because then the rice has no chance of getting mushy.
