Week 6--Stuffed Pepper Soup

Ok--this is technically for last week.  I cooked this nice yummy stuffed pepper soup last week to have for lunches and it was PERFECT.  I had made this once before and stupidly put the rice in with the soup to cook and (of course) the rice sucked up all of the juice.  I did it correctly this time and it was MUCH better.

Stuffed Pepper Soup
1 pound of ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 can diced tomatoes
1 small can tomato sauce
4 cups beef broth
salt and pepper to taste
cooked rice

I used my super old inherited from a great great great grandparent cast iron pot for this.  I browned the beef, then added in the veggies and sauteed.  Once that was all cooked down, add the rest of the ingredients and let cook for awhile. 

I cooked my rice on the side (yeah!) and had it ready to go.  Serve soup over white rice, with a little Parmesan as a topping.  It's great! 

I fell off the wagon for week 7.  Being a teacher eats your life sometimes and sometimes when I get home standing up in the kitchen is the absolute last thing I want to do.  Mardi Gras is Tuesday, so never fear, I'm back on the wagon and it's gonna be goooood.
