Lately I have buckled down and started meal planning again! I really enjoying finding new recipes and seeing which ones are a hit in our house. I break my meal plan down by giving each day of the week its own category (i.e.: Crockpot night) to simplify the planning portion.
I'll be posting soon about how I meal plan for the week and then make my food list - so keep an eye out for that one!
I wanted to share with you the most delicious Stuffed Pepper Soup recipe I found on Pinterest that was posted from Mamagourmand.com! What I loved about this recipe is that stovetop, crock pot, and Instant Pot directions are all included so you can make this recipe any which way you want and still have a delicious meal for dinner!
I used the crock pot for this recipe and not only was it comfort food in a bowl, but we had enough for leftovers in the fridge and some for freezing! Any meal that I can stretch for another night that we need something quick is a big win in my book! That's multitasking at its finest and I am always here for that.
I am going to share the crock pot version I used and then you can check out Mamagourmand.com to pull the complete recipe that includes all versions if you need other options!

Transfer this mixture to the crock pot - add in the remaining ingredients. EXCEPT FOR THE RICE!
Cook on high for 3 - 4 hours OR low 6 - 8 hours
Towards the end of the cooking time cook your choice of rice separately, then you can add rice to the Stuffed Pepper Soup, or you can leave separate and place rice in bottom of serving bowls and place the Stuffed Pepper Soup on top of the rice.
NOTE: If you are planning on freezing any lefto
ver Stuffed Pepper Soup, then DO NOT add rice to the soup, keep it separate.
This recipe is simple, delicious and makes you feel so good! Recipes like this one are a gem to keep in the recipe vault for cool fall afternoons or cozy winter nights. Having a recipe that is versatile for all types of cooking methods is so wonderful. I hope you enjoy this Stuffed Pepper Soup as much as we did!
