The Best Stuffed Pepper Soup (Made Easy!)

When the evenings get chilly and your schedule gets busy, the crockpot becomes your best friend. This Stuffed Pepper Soup is one of those recipes that practically makes itself — hearty, flavorful, and full of everything you love about classic stuffed peppers, but in cozy soup form.

Each spoonful has a little bit of everything: tender peppers, savory sausage, fluffy rice, and a rich tomato base that tastes like it simmered all day (because it did 😉).

Dinner doesn’t get much easier — or more delicious!

How to make stuffed pepper soup

1. In a large skillet add ground sausage and diced onion and cook until no longer pink.  Drain any fat and transfer to crockpot. 
2. Add in chopped peppers, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil and oregano, and cooked rice.  Stir everything together, cover and cook on low for 6 hours. 

Crockpots are one of my favorite things to make dinner with.  They take all the time spent in the kitchen cooking and make a magically delicious meal from start to finish with very little effort.

What You’ll Need

• Ground sausage

• Red and green bell peppers, seeded and chopped

• Diced onion

• Tomato sauce (with garlic, oregano, and basil)

• Italian-style diced tomatoes

• Cooked white rice

• Dried oregano

• Dried basil

• Fresh basil (for garnish)

• Vegetable broth

Crockpot Cooking Tip

Let your slow cooker work its magic! The longer this soup simmers, the more flavorful it gets. It’s a perfect make-ahead meal and even better the next day.

Can You Use Other Meats?

Absolutely! You can substitute ground sausage with:

• Ground beef

• Ground turkey

• Ground chicken

• Ground venison or elk

Each variation gives the soup its own unique flavor — so mix it up based on what you have on hand!

Freezer Friendly Meal

Stuffed Pepper Soup freezes beautifully. Let it cool completely, then transfer to airtight containers or labeled freezer bags. Freeze for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat on the stove or in the crockpot until hot.

Can You Make It on the Stove?

Yes!
Brown the sausage and onions, then add in chopped peppers, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, rice, and seasonings. Simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the soup thickens.
