How to Prepare
🫑 Roast the peppers in a 450F (230C) oven until charred and blistered all over, 30 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a covered bowl and let steam. Once cool, remove the skin, seeds, and stems and chop into bite-size pieces. 🦃 Add the olive oil to a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook the ground meat and using a wooden spoon, break the meat into small pieces, until the water evaporates. 🧅 Add the vegetables: onion, grated carrot, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent. Stir in the salt, oregano, and tomato paste. 🥫 Next, add the tomato sauce, rice, roasted peppers, and broth. How thick or thin you want the soup will be up to you. You can always add more broth. 🔥 Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. 🥣 Finally, serve the Stuffed Pepper Soup with yogurt, sour cream, or a drizzle of hot pepper oil and enjoy!
Variations and Substitutions for Stuffed Pepper Soup
Best Served With
I like to garnish my soup with a dollop of plain Balkan-style yogurt or sour cream and a dash of hot pepper oil. A dish as nostalgic as this one deserves to be paired with a rustic loaf of my Bapche’s No Knead Bread. 🍞 Make it a true Balkan meal by serving this soup alongside Shopska Salad, a Simple Green Salad, or a Creamy Cucumber Salad. Make me (and my family proud) and follow up your cozy soup supper with a Semolina Cake for dessert. 🥮
