GRAMMY’S UNSTUFFED PEPPER SOUP! 🙂 Oh gosh, I love soup!! I could literally eat it every day! But it has to be hearty, have lots of veggies, and loads of flavor, right?! Well, this soup fits the bill! It is a homey soup, loaded with yummy veggies, meat, and savory herbs. Then add in some white or brown rice, and it is a scrumptious, satisfying, all-in-one meal fit for a king…or queen!! With the beautiful colors from the array of fresh veggies, it is also a great option for Soup Night with friends, as well!
This week, my Hubby is traveling for several days on business out of town, so I made a pot of this yumminess and it will be dinner for me each night ahead. With my meat, veggies, and carb from the brown rice, it’s an easy, well-balanced meal for one! But add in a crisp green salad and some warm, crusty bread on the side and you have a perfect dinner for your family or friends!
