Ingredients You Need

  • Ground Beef: As written, this is a very filling chili made with ground beef. Instead of beef, you can use ground turkey or chicken—your preference! Or you’re welcome to skip the meat and replace it with sweet potato and beans.
  • Bell Pepper & Onion: These components form the base of most chili recipes, including this oneclassic homemade chili.
  • Tomatoes:I use and suggest canned small diced tomatoes. If you are able to locate fire-roasted ones, I strongly recommend them for added taste.
  • Tomato Paste:Incorporating tomato paste adds a richer and more complex flavor, which tomatoes by themselves cannot achieve.
  • Rice: Either long or short grain rice is suitable—I frequently choose basmati rice.
  • Chicken Broth: Add sufficient chicken broth to cook the rice
  • Jalapeño:For a bit more flavor. You’re welcome to omit this if you prefer.
  • Spices: Collect basic pantry items such as fresh garlic (not shown), salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and dried parsley.

Overview: How to Prepare Stuffed Pepper Soup

The process is extremely easy and a great method to utilize leftover rice.

Begin by searing the beef along with the bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño. Mix in the spices—fresh garlic, salt, pepper, chili powder, dried parsley, and cumin—until the aroma becomes noticeable. After that, stir in the tomato paste.

Mix in the chopped tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a rolling boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the soup starts to thicken. Add the rice. Taste it and adjust the seasoning with extra spices if necessary.
