My recipe of the day is for an Amish stuffed pepper soup with the soup swappers group. Which takes all the great flavors of stuffed bell peppers and puts it into a bowl.

Now I have seen these kind of recipes before,  and  often times it will have just browned and crumbled ground beef in it. But that’s not what I wanted to do here.

I know my Mom used to make a version  of stuffed peppers she liked, which had saucy meat in the pepper then topped with melted cheese. But that’s not the Amish version, For that, we need rice mixed in there.

And even more so, the thing needs to come together inside  the pepper like a porcupine meatball.

But a soup with just beef crumbles  isn’t going  to be like that. So hence,k the meatballs. Which despite the little bit of extra work,  is all worth  it. Trust me.

Amish Stuffed Pepper Soup

This uses two different  kinds of rice  so don’t space on that and  use the wrong ones. You’ll need the instant or minute rice  inside the meatballs so they cook properly. Then you can use regular long grain in the soup.

You could use  instant rice in the soup, but it takes less time and has a softer different texture.  Not the one I prefer.

The  flavor in this is very good and I promise you  will  love it if you also love something  like tomato  rice soup. I hope you enjoy.

  1. How cool that you used V8 in this soup and in the meatballs. Minute Rice in meatballs is an old trick my mother used to use. This looks amazing Sue.

  2. I’m about finished with my stuffed pepper soup right now, but sill looking at recipes for new ideas for next time. I added 1/2 a lb of hot sausage, smoked paprika, worchestershire sauce,a bay leaf, a pinch of brown sugar, etc. But the idea of making mini-meatballs is BRILLIANT! And Marjoram! Sound like the perfect herb. Next time, Ill make it this way and let you know how it turns out. I LOVE how this includes building flavor, and not the throw everything into the pot kind of lazy approach of most online recipes. I’ve also looked at other recipes here, they look fabulous. I’m glad someone is posting these delicious secrets!
