Oma's (Un) Stuffed Green Pepper Soup

➤ by Gerhild Fulson

Stuffed green pepper soup, aka grüne Pfeffersuppe? If you LOVE stuffed peppers, you'll LOVE this soup.  Lean ground beef, peppers (green, red, yellow, orange), tomatoes. Served with rice. All the taste, but minus the work.

Not only is this a soup, but it can easily be used as a pasta sauce by using a bit less broth. Such a versatile soup that tastes so good and freezes beautifully as well.

For the full list of ingredients & detailed instructions, see the recipe card at the end of this post. But before you scroll, there’s important & interesting stuff to know right below.

(un) Stuffed Green Pepper Soup. So easy to make it just like Oma!

Serve this as a soup with rice on top. Stir the rice in. OR, serve as a sauce with pasta. Yummy!

I was looking for a vegetable beef soup recipe that used green peppers. Didn't find what I wanted in my German cookbooks. I knew I loved stuffed green peppers, so this recipe has become a great alternative to making a similar taste in an easier way.

A bit of this and a bit of that ...

  • I've used a mixture of lean ground beef, lean ground pork, and/or lean ground chicken. All work fantastic.
  • Add more or less of the veggies. Add chopped celery. Add sliced mushrooms. You decide how creative you want to be!
  • Use it just the way it is as a spaghetti meat sauce. Delicious served over spaghetti.

Hummus?

Yep. Hummus. Sylvie, my daughter-in-law, shares that hummus is delicious in this to add extra zing.  Her easy hummus recipe is so quick to make and it's becoming wildly popular in Germany. Try it. I think you'll like it too!

Oma says,

If you're looking for green pepper recipes because you have an abundance in the garden, then make this soup and freeze it for use in the winter.

If you're looking for the best ground beef recipes, well this should certainly be one of them. So versatile, since it can be used as a pasta sauce. 

Is this (un)stuffed green pepper soup ... German. Nope. So, it's among my Non German favorites! 

Why? Because it's so good.

Try it and you'll see what I mean!
