If you love stuffed peppers, you will love this as a soup. It takes minimal effort and can be made in 45 min start to finish (with most of the time simmering so all the wonderful flavors can meld together).

The ingredient list is also not very long, with the main ingredients as ground beef, onion, bell peppers, and white rice.

Is this soup freezer-friendly? I will say that after some recipe testing, this soup will not freeze well with the rice as the rice can become mushy once thawed and reheated. If you plan to freeze, I recommend freezing without the rice, adding it in prior to serving. It will make all the difference.

My only ask is to serve with crusty bread, a light salad, and a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese right on top.
