How to Make Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe:

• Prepare Instant Pot – Turn your Instant pot to the saute setting.

• Drain Grease – Once brown, cancel the saute setting and drain off any grease.

What to Serve with Stuffed Pepper Soup:

• Garlic Bread – We love to make this Homemade Garlic Bread Recipe. It is the perfect bread to get every last drop of this delicious soup.
• Green Salad – Since this soup is hearty and full of rich ingredients, we like to keep our sides light. A simple green salad is the perfect combination with this soup.
• Roasted Vegetables – We love to roast vegetables when we make soups. You can roast broccoli, asparagus and even zucchini for a healthy side to this soup.

Variations and Additions:

• Cauliflower Rice – Make it healthier by chopping up cauliflower and using it instead of rice – check out my easy Cauliflower rice recipe. My kids ate it with white rice last week, but I used cauliflower to get my extra veggies in. 
• Change the Meat – Try making it with Sausage or ground turkey. I like to add Italian sausage and lean ground beef in mine to give it a little different flavor. My family loves it.
• Add in other Vegetables – You can add in some chopped carrots or broccoli. You can easily chop these really small so they cook fast and soft.
• Make it Spicy – Chopped jalapeno would be a great addition to this soup.
• Seasoning – You can add in a tablespoon of Italian Seasoning.
• Broth – You can use chicken broth instead of beef broth.

Can I Make this Soup in the Crock Pot?

Yes, you can make this soup in the slow cooker. My slow cooker is still my favorite and this soup cooks perfect in there. I love coming home to my house smelling so delicious with this soup cooking all day.

Our Crock Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup is a crowd favorite and I know you will like it too.

How long can you store leftovers:

This soup is even better the next day. You can enjoy the leftovers for up to 5 days. I like to store mine in a microwave safe dish so it is easy to reheat. We like to place in individual containers so it is easy lunch the next day.

You can also heat up on the stove top, if you are feeding your family for a quick dinner. We love leftover nights in my family.

How to Freeze Stuffed Pepper Soup Instant Pot Recipe:

This stuffed pepper soup freezes great. To freeze, let the left overs cool completely. Then store in your freezer in an air tight freezer bag. 

I heat it up on the stove top (after defrosting) in a large pot when I’m ready to serve this recipe again.  It’s easy to freeze and the leftovers taste great too.

I also like freezing individual containers for an easy lunch. My husband loves going to work with a container of Crock Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup for lunch.

By the time lunch comes around, it is thawed and ready to eat. He has a good lunch and doesn’t have to have fast food.
