❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup
1. Can I use uncooked rice in this soup?
Yes, you can add 1/2 cup of uncooked rice when you add the broth and tomatoes. Just increase the simmering time to 25 to 30 minutes so the rice cooks through. Keep an eye on the liquid level and add a little more broth if needed.
2. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The rice will absorb some liquid so when reheating you can add a splash of beef broth or water to thin it out.
3. Can I freeze this soup?
Yes, this soup freezes well. Let it cool completely then transfer to freezer safe containers. It will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove.
4. What can I use instead of ground beef?
Ground turkey, ground chicken, or even a plant based ground meat substitute work great in this recipe. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly if using a leaner meat.
5. Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?
Yes, brown the beef and onions on the stove first then transfer everything except the rice and parsley to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. Stir in the cooked rice during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
