So I surprised myself about a month ago. I’ll freely admit that while I’d like to be much better than I am at cooking, I’m not quite whipping up extravagant meals every evening. I think this is most likely why I’m dining out so often. During just such a meal out, I ordered a soup that I had never tried before: Stuffed Green Bell Pepper soup. If you like stuffed green bell peppers, you will fall in love with the soup variety of the flavor.

The next Saturday after that, my church was hosting a potluck and I decided to make this as my dish to pass. Surprisingly enough, it turned out very well. I wanted to publish the recipe I used here for other’s enjoyment. I took the recipe from the follow two sources and added a bit of my own thoughts to the dish. Enjoy!

The bulk of the recipe was obtained from eHow, however I took suggestions from RecipeZaar to make it my own.

Ingredients
2 lbs of 93/7 Lean Ground Turkey
2 cups of Diced Green Bell Pepper
1/3 cup of Chopped Onion
1 large can (28-29 oz) of Diced Tomatoes
1 large can (28-29 oz) of Tomato Sauce
1 1/4 cups of uncooked White Rice
3 1/2 cups of Hot Water
1/4 cup of Brown Sugar
2 Beef Bouillon Cubes

Preparation: To prepare this dish, brown the ground turkey and drain the fat. While the ground turkey is starting to brown, take a medium to large size bowl and dissolve the 2 beef bouillon cubes in the 3 1/2 cups of hot water. Dice the green pepper. For me, 2 green peppers made just about 2 cups when diced. Chop the onion.

Cooking: Combine all of the ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for 7-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. You want to make sure the peppers are softened prior to serving.
