Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, garlic, green pepper, and red pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Stir in the uncooked white rice and the water. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
  6. Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed.
  7. Ladle the hearty soup into bowls. Top each serving with shredded cheddar cheese, if desired, before serving.

Notes

  • Using pre-cooked rice works well if you want to reduce the simmering time, but add it only during the last 5 minutes of cooking to heat through.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or ground sausage for the ground beef in this family favorite soup.
  • For a richer flavor, use low-sodium beef broth and add a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce with the tomatoes.
