Description

High Protein Stuffed Pepper Soup is a vibrant, nutritious dish brimming with colorful peppers, lean protein, and aromatic spices—perfect for cozy dinners or impressing guests.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium bell peppers (mixed colors, diced)
  • 1 lb ground turkey or chicken
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (with juice)
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Chop bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the diced onions for about three minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add ground turkey or chicken to the pot. Season with salt and pepper as you break it apart with your spatula. Cook until browned, about five minutes.
  4. Stir in diced bell peppers, diced tomatoes (with juice), and black beans. Sprinkle in chili powder, cumin, and oregano; mix well.
  5. Carefully pour in vegetable broth until all ingredients are submerged. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for about twenty minutes to meld flavors.
