Brown Ground Beef and Cook Rice:
- In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon as it cooks to ensure even browning.
- While the beef is browning, cook the rice according to package instructions. You can use white or brown rice, depending on your preference, but make sure it’s fully cooked before adding it to the soup.

Mix Together All Ingredients and Cook as Soup:
- Once the ground beef is cooked through, add the cooked rice to the pot.
- Chop the green pepper and onion into small pieces and add them to the pot as well.
- Pour in the tomato juice and salsa, stirring everything together until well combined.
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften.
- Give the soup a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the soup is heated through and the vegetables are tender, it’s ready to serve!
Serving Suggestions:
- Ladle the hot Stuffed Green Pepper Soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
- Serve alongside some crusty bread or garlic toast for a complete and satisfying meal.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for longer-term storage. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through.
