Equipment
Method
- Sauté the Vegetables and Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Once the beef is cooked, add the diced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
- Add the Spices: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the beef and vegetables in the spices.
- Add the Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in the beef broth and add the can of diced tomatoes. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Simmer the Soup: Once the soup is simmering, add the cauliflower rice (or regular rice, if not following keto). Stir well, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender and the soup thickens.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices to suit your preferences.
- Top with Cheese: If desired, ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese. Allow the cheese to melt into the soup for a creamy finish.
- Serve and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy your Keto Stuffed Pepper Soup!
Notes
This Keto Stuffed Pepper Soup is not only delicious but also versatile. If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some diced jalapeños during the sautéing process. For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of broth or let it simmer longer to allow the flavors to concentrate. You can also swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken to change up the flavor profile.
