Stuffed Pepper Soup

I absolutely love this time of year! When the days start getting cooler, I start making soups and stews.  Tuesday night I made Stuffed Pepper Soup and liked it so much I thought I'd share the recipe with you all.  (I found this recipe in the Taste of Home Soup Magazine)

Stuffed Pepper Soup

Ingredients:

2 lbs. ground beef

2 quarts water

1 can (28 oz) tomato sauce

1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

2 cups cooked long grain rice

2 cups chopped green peppers

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules

2 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.  Stir in the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until peppers are tender.  YIELD:  10 servings (2-1/2 quarts).
