Stuffed Pepper Soup Ingredients:

  • Olive oil: The best oil to saute onions.
  • Onion: We used yellow onion for this stuffed pepper soup recipe, which is the best for soups. Always saute onions before adding them to the soup.
  • Garlic: Gives nice flavor and enhances the taste of the stuffed bell pepper soup.
  • Ground beef: Classic filling for stuffed bell peppers. I like to use lean ground beef.
  • Ground pork: You can also use ground sausage.
