This Stuffed Pepper Soup is a flavorful, healthy soup recipe that's loaded with Italian sausage (for even more flavor!), peppers, rice and tomatoes. Stove top or slow cooker versions.
In a large (around 5 quarts) dutch oven or soup pot, brown Italian sausage over medium-high heat, stirring often to crumble, about 3-4 minutes.
Add onion and peppers, and cook over medium-high heat until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in garlic, salt, oregano, paprika (if using) and pepper and cook 1 minute.
Add broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce and rice and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, until rice is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Serve with mozzarella and fresh parsley as desired.
