Stuffed Pepper Soup with Corn
Zesty and full of flavor, this Stuffed Pepper Soup with Corn is your next kitchen obsession. Dive into a bowl of comfort that’s as easy to make as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (I like 85/15 for the perfect fat ratio)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for sautéing)
- 1 large onion, diced (yellow for sweetness)
- 2 bell peppers, diced (mix colors for vibrancy)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (fresh is best here)
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (undrained for extra juice)
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce (plain works great)
- 2 cups beef broth (low sodium to control saltiness)
- 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned, both work)
- 1 tsp dried oregano (crush it between your fingers to wake it up)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (for that subtle depth)
- Salt and pepper (to your liking, but don’t skimp)
- 1 cup cooked rice (leftover rice is perfect here)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pot to ensure even browning.
- Stir in onion and bell peppers, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Tip: A pinch of salt here helps draw out moisture.
- Add garlic, oregano, and smoked paprika, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 15 minutes. Tip: Simmering melds the flavors beautifully.
- Stir in corn and cooked rice, heating through for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle this hearty soup into bowls and watch as the rich, smoky flavors and tender veggies steal the show. Serve with a sprinkle of cheese or a dollop of sour cream for an extra indulgent twist.

Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (my go-to for that rich, fruity base)

- 1 cup diced onions (because who doesn’t love a bit of crunch?)
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (baby bellas add an earthy depth)

- 2 cups diced bell peppers (mix colors for a vibrant bowl)
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (with juices for extra sauciness)

- 1 cup cooked rice (leftover rice is a time-saver here)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (for that subtle, smoky whisper)
- Salt and pepper (to season, but measure with your heart)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until shimmering—about 1 minute.
- Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until no pink remains—about 5 minutes. Tip: Don’t stir too often; let it get a nice sear.
- Toss in onions and mushrooms, sautéing until they’re soft and golden—about 4 minutes. Tip: This is where the flavors start to build, so don’t rush it.
- Stir in garlic and bell peppers, cooking just until fragrant—about 1 minute.
- Pour in diced tomatoes and beef broth, then bring to a boil. Tip: Skim off any foam for a clearer soup.
- Reduce heat to low, stir in rice and smoked paprika, and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors marry.
- Season with salt and pepper, then serve hot. Zero in on that first spoonful—the tender beef, the juicy peppers, the umami mushrooms. Try topping with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra layer of yum.
