Wouldn’t you agree that soup season is the most magical time of the year. Soup not only is super easy to make, but it’s also cozy and comforting to the soul. This Stuffed Pepper Soup is full of flavor and is perfect to fill a empty tummy. It is Whole30, Keto, Paleo complaint, along with being dairy and gluten free.
Creating soup recipes that are filling and healthy is one of my main goals. I don’t like my soup to be all broth, so I love filling it with a ton of veggies and meat. This soup is so easy and can be whipped up on the stove in less than 30 minutes or put in the crock pot to cook all day.
Stuffed peppers is always one of our go-to dinners all year around, so I just took those same ingredients and turned it into a yummy soup. The main base of this soup is ground beef and sausage along with green peppers, beef broth, green peppers, onions and spices.
Not only is this a great dish for football Sunday or tailgating, but you can take it up a notch by pouring it over a sweet potato. It will for sure fill up all the men in your life and they will be running back for seconds.
Can you freeze this stuffed pepper soup?
Yes! Add this soup to a freezer proof container and freeze up to 3 months. Simply thaw and heat up on the stove top or microwave and serve. I love making 2 big batches and using it as a meal on those days I don’t feel like cooking.

I was looking for the nutritional information for the stuffed pepper soup.
It is not available for this recipe yet. However, all of my recipes will have nutrition facts by the end of the year. It’s a big job to do.
Is this Italian sausage or breakfast sausage?
Love this recipe!! Easy and can freeze half for another time! I have made this a few times a year for 3 years now!
HI Charly…..so thrilled this recipe is a go to favorite for you. Thank you for your feedback.
What is the nutritional information for this stuffed pepper soup?
Rich, flavorful, and dare I say, decadent?
I loved your serving suggestion in the text to put this wonderful soup over a baked sweet potato. (It is almost thick enough to be more of a chili so that worked out great!). Also, based on what I had on-hand without a grocery store trip, I used a bag of Trader Joe’s frozen 16-oz, 3-color peppers (called “ménage à trois”). No doubt other food stores would have something similar. Really made for a beautiful presentation with all the Fall colors. I had a small can of green chilis that were close to their expiration date so in those went. The sausages I used were Costco Amylu Paleo Chicken Sausage breakfast links, each small link sliced into 4 pieces. And then lastly, I was 8-oz short on the tomato sauce but added the whole small can of tomato paste because I have a tendency to never use the other half of the can once it is opened (haha!)…. so why not?
This Comfort Food was an easy A+ grade from me! Recommending to all my friends. Thank-you!
