Equipment

  • Crock pot (6-quart)
  • Chef Knife
  • Skillet with Cover
  • Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef extra-lean recommended
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups tomatoes diced
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 3 cups bell peppers any color, seeded, cored and chopped diced
  • 2 cups beef broth reduced sodium recommended
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning see note
  • 1 cup cooked white rice see note
  • Serving Ideas
  • salt and pepper to taste (see note)
  • fresh parsley chopped
  • cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

Browning (Optional)

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot add the ground beef. Let it brown undisturbed for one minute. Then stir with a wooden spoon breaking up the beef until lightly browned all over. Drain excess fat if needed and set aside.
  • Keeping the pan on the heat, add the onions and garlic. Stir for 1-2 minutes until softened slightly, loosening the browned bits as you go.

Soup

  • To the slow cooker, add the beef, onion, garlic, tomatoes, tomato sauce, bell peppers, broth, soy sauce, Italian seasoning and cooked rice.
  • Cover and seal the crock pot lid. Cook on a Low setting for 6 hours.
  • Remove the lid and taste the soup. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to adjust the flavor to your liking.
  • Ladle the soup into serving bowls. Garnish with optional parsley and cheese.

Notes

  • Italian Seasoning: If you don’t have any, you can use 1 teaspoon dried oregano plus 1 teaspoon dried basil instead.
  • Rice: You can easily substitute cooked brown rice, wild rice or other varieties.
  • Make It Keto: Use cauliflower rice instead of white rice, and add the cauliflower rice to the crock pot 20 minutes before serving for the best texture. Alternatively, omit the rice entirely if you prefer.
  • Storage: You can store this soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. It also freezes well.
