Recipe ~ Stuffed Pepper Soup (Freezer Bag: Crock Pot or Not)

Share & Help Me Grow

Stuffed bell pepper soup in the crock pot... or not. Freezer bag option too.

I love stuffed bell peppers but with a large family and peppers at almost $1 a piece, we cannot afford to indulge very often. Recently, Brandie over at The Country Cook posted Stuffed Pepper Soup and I was inspired.

We do not use canned soup (if possible), we have more people to feed, and I wanted something I could use as a freezer to crock pot recipe, so I made some changes. The result was a rich and hearty soup that sent Bill into a blissful state.

    I can’t believe I haven’t tried this recipe yet. I tried a different recipe and my kids didn’t like so many bell peppers, but I think there is not too much in this one. I’ll have to try it. Thanks. 🙂
