Stuffed Pepper Soup

It felt like soup season for a little bit! The temperatures in the morning were chilly. Then it got back into the 80s in the afternoons.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef or ground turkey

1 diced onion

minced garlic cloves, about 3

1 diced red pepper

1 can tomato sauce

1 can of diced tomatoes with green chili (undrained)

2 cups beef broth or chicken broth (more may be needed to make it soupy)

Rice or noodles (I had run out of rice)

4 sliced of American cheese

dried oregano

dried basil

paprika

salt

pepper

In a soup pot sautee beef, onion, peppers in some olive oil.

Toss garlic in and stir for a minute until fragrant.

Add tomato sauce and canned diced tomato.

Add seasonings

Add 2 cups broth

Bring to a boil

Add rice or noodles cooked according to the package.

(Since I used noodles I threw them in the boiling soup until cooked. About 12 minutes)

At the end of cooking melt in 4 slices American cheese. It's what the Pioneer Woman does with homemade hamburger helper and since I used noodles the soup started going that way.

Drain the grease and return to soup pot.

I have to be on this low iodine diet for a while. At least until the end of February. You will be seeing some new recipes coming as my husband and I try to cook things to fit this diet.
