Stuffed Pepper Soup

Updated: Feb 16, 2023

Sometimes the greatest things are unexpected, 'em I right? Like this Stuffed Pepper Soup!


Thursday evenings are a bit of a rush for me. I have a coaching call from 5-6pm and then immediately following my call, I head out for my women's paddle tennis league. Last week it was your typical January in Connecticut night - COLD! - and I wanted to ensure I had a little something warm to eat before being out in the cold for several hours.


I quickly scanned what we had available in the house and ta-da! this Stuffed Pepper Soup was born. Made with simple ingredients, this recipe is quick, easy and hits the spot!


I hope you love it - and if you try it make sure you come back here and leave a comment and let me know what you think! Enjoy!
