A delicious and healthy bowl of zesty pepper soup.

We love the taste of stuffed peppers, however, making them can be time consuming and messy. This pepper soup recipe combines all of the traditional flavors of stuffed peppers into a soup that can be eaten right away or frozen for later use.

The best part about this recipe is that it is easy to prepare and the flavors meld together perfectly.
