Instructions

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add in the minced garlic and cook until aromatic.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, rice, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the rice is tender.
  • Check the consistency of the soup and add more water if needed to thin out the soup based on your preference.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

If you prefer a firmer texture, add the rice later in the cooking process or use leftover cooked rice and stir it in at the end. Rice will continue to absorb liquid as it sits, even after cooking, so check and add more water if needed.
Variations Ideas
  • Add in Extra Veggies – This is a great soup to sneak in additional veggies. Add in chopped celery, carrots or potatoes for added flavor.
  • Fresh Herbs – For added flavor, add in fresh herbs such as fresh basil, fresh parsley, or oregano. Start with ½ tsp and add more to taste.
  • Spicy Flavor – For a slight kick, add in 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
