Grew up with my mom making this, always had some bread on the side, tasted like heaven.

Envision yourself welcomed home by the hearty scent of Stuffed Pepper Soup the moment you open the door. The addition of healthy ground turkey and a variety of bell peppers makes this rendition of the traditional meal even more of a slow-cooked pleasure. Perfect for those hectic weekdays when time just doesn’t seem to be on your side but you still want to make a home-cooked dinner. The flavor and texture of stuffed peppers are captured in this dish, but you won’t even notice the filling!

A rustic green salad with a light vinaigrette dressing or some crusty artisan bread would be perfect accompaniments to this hearty soup. Hot sauce or crushed red pepper flakes are great condiments to have on hand so that people may customize the level of heat to their taste.
