Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (or ½ ground beef & ½ Italian sausage)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup onion, chopped
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon hot pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon fennel seed
- ½ teaspoon Italian spice seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon Better than Bouillon Beef base
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups peppers, chopped (I used green, red, yellow and orange)
- 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes
- 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- ½ cup cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
In a large soup pan add the oil, ground beef, onions, salt, pepper, pepper flakes, paprika, fennel, paprika and Italian seasonings.
-
Once the meat is just browned, add in the peppers, tomatoes, garlic and Better than bouillon mixed in the water.
-
Cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until the peppers are soft.
-
Now add the cooked rice and Parmesan cheese and continue to cook for a couple more minutes. If you prefer a thinner soup, you can add more beef broth. The cooked rice tends to absorb a lot of the broth.
-
Serve as is or you sprinkle more parmesan cheese on top if you wish. This freezes well too.
