Ingredients

  • 1 pounds ground beef
  • ½ onion diced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper diced
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper diced
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces each Petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 can 15 ounce tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Shredded cheddar cheese for serving

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add ½ diced onion, 1 diced red bell pepper, and 1 diced green bell pepper to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  • Stir in 1 can (14.5 ounces) petite diced tomatoes, 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce, 4 cups beef broth, 1 cup uncooked white rice, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 to 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!

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 1/2 tsp and add more to taste.
  • Spicy Flavor - For a slight kick, add in 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
