Slow Cooker Stuffed Pepper Soup

Slow Cooker Stuffed Pepper Soup
October 9, 2019Tracey SouliaGluten FreeRecipesSlow CookerSlow Cookersoupstuffed peppers

It’s a cool fall day here in northern New York.  There’s not much better on a cool day than making something in the slow cooker.   Today I am making slow cooker stuffed pepper soup, a family favorite!  If you like stuffed peppers, this recipe is a fun play on them.  It really is the ingredients in a stuffed pepper turned into soup!  You can make it on the stove too (if you want to)- but throwing it together in the morning, and coming in to dinner done (and the amazing smell) just makes me happy!  The think I really like about this recipe is you can throw in what you have… have mushrooms, throw them in… carrots, throw them in… whatever you like – personalize it!

 

I have been making this recipe for awhile, and tweaking it here and there to suit my family’s taste (and for health benefits) and this is my favorite version!  I’ve added and changed a few things from the original version (which I linked to below the recipe).

We typically add the rice in last – my daughter is not a rice fan – but loves veggie noodles – so we always save her a portion and put noodles in it.  It can be personalized!  I hope you like it as much as we do!  Enjoy!

 

*Vegetarian Option –

You could easily make it vegetarian by using tofu crumbles and using the vegetable broth – I have not tried it with tofu crumbles – but in theory it should work!

          Notes

          *adapted from one of our favorite slow cooker recipe websites - Recipes that Crock
          *While it is tempting to want to add in more rice (we often do the boil in the bag rice, and it makes more than 1 C) - this will absorb all your broth - and you will no longer have soup. 
          *You could use Italian seasoning in place of basil and oregano if you don't have one of them.
