Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice, long grain
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: Shredded cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add onion, garlic, green pepper, and red pepper to the pot. Cook until vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the uncooked rice and Worcestershire sauce.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and shredded cheese, if using.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or ground sausage for the ground beef.
  • For a thicker soup, use 3 cups of broth instead of 4.
  • If you prefer a sweeter flavor, use half green peppers and half yellow or orange peppers.
  • This soup tastes even better the next day.
