Instant Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup

February 21, 2019 By Julia Leave a Comment

Instant Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup is filled with all of the things you love about stuffed peppers- bell peppers, ground beef, tomatoes, rice and spices. This soup comes together quickly in the pressure cooker for a filling meal the whole family will love.

INSTANT POT STUFFED PEPPER SOUP

We are still in the thick of the cold weather here in Ohio, which of course calls for bowls of warm, filling soup. Instant Pot Stuffed Pepper Soup is not only an easy meal you can make in your pressure cooker, it is very filling and satisfying. This is the kind of soup that you can use for a meal during the week along with leftovers for lunches or additional meals.

Stuffed peppers are one of my favorite meals to make for my family. This stuffed pepper soup takes the ingredients you would use in stuffed peppers and creates a soup. This recipe uses ground beef but you could feel free to substitute ground turkey or skip the meat all together. Along with the ground beef you will find bell peppers, tomatoes, rice and flavorful spices in this soup.
