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.

Incredibly easy to make and incredible to eat for lunches during the week. I was so satisfied and full from this soup! Which I love because I tend to not find that with many soups.
Thanks so much Emily.
This is one of my favorites!
There is nothing more gratifying than to hear one of my recipes made a favorite list. Thank you for your kind words of support Danielle!
Love the addition of sausage to this soup! I’ve made similar recipes with just ground beef or turkey. The sausage really sets this one apart. Thank you!
I’m a vegetarian and love to modify non-veg recipes to fit my lifestyle. I made this soup and subbed 16 oz Impossible brand ground “beef” and it was absolutely amazing! I added zucchini and used red, orange and green peppers. So rich and flavorful and comes together super quickly! Will definitely be on my regular rotation as the cold MN winter is just around the corner. Keep up the great work! XO
This is awesome. So happy you were able to make it vegetarian.
Just finished cleaning up the garden at the end of summer and had peppers and tomatoes available. This recipe is delicious and made enough to freeze in serving size portions for quick meals.
I am so happy to hear you loved it Lynne!
Can this be made with keto marinara sauce i made instead of tomatoes tomato sauce and paste?
I haven’t tried it that way so I can’t give you a for sure answer. I always recommend playing around with it and tailoring it to your needs.
Any particular kind of sausage work best with this recipe?
I use ground sausage from Butcher Box
My picky husband and kids asked that I add this to our rotation. I am so glad to have found something my whole family loves that is whole 30!
This just made my day. Thank you for the awesome comment!
5 stars! So easy and so, so good! Definitely will be adding this into my regular rotation 🙂
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed
Family favorite!
