Here’s an easy tasty Stuffed Pepper Soup made in the crock pot that’s perfect for stuffed pepper lovers.
I tasted stuffed pepper soup for the first time several years ago at a restaurant in northern Wisconsin and was immediately smitten.
So, when I saw this recipe for slow cooker stuffed pepper soup in a Gooseberry Patch Slow-Cooker Recipes Cookbook (Everyday Cookbook Collection) (affiliate link), I decided to give it a try. It’s unique in that it calls for a package of cooked Spanish rice, instead of plain or brown rice.
Recipe Notes
The recipe also calls for two bell peppers. Green bell peppers can be kinda strong, even if you like them. So, I used one green and one red to tone it down a bit.
And I added two cups of beef broth.
This slow cooker stuffed pepper soup recipe turned out thick and hearty, perfect for a chilly fall or winter meal.
You could substitute ground turkey if you wanted. Or turn it into a vegetarian slow cooker stuffed pepper soup by using veggie crumbles.

Slow Cooker Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra lean ground beef, browned and drained
- 2 cans (10-3/4 ounces each) tomato soup
- 1 can (14 to 15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 cups broth (chicken, beef or vegetable)
- 2 bell peppers chopped (I used one green and one red)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 package (5 to 6 ounces) Spanish rice mix, uncooked
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving, if desired
Instructions
- Ideal slow cooker size: 5- to 6-Quart.
- Combine the cooked ground beef, tomato soup, diced tomatoes, broth, bell peppers, onions and Italian seasoning in your slow cooker. (I used my Ninja 3-in-1 cooker so I could brown the meat then proceed with slow cooking.)
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, until the peppers and onions are soft.
- Prepare the rice mix as the package directs. (I needed water and a 14-1/2-ounce can of diced tomatoes for mine.)
- Stir the cooked rice mix into the soup and cook on low for 30 minutes more to blend flavors.
- Serve with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top, if desired.

I made this soup in my Ninja 3-in-1 Cooking System (affiliate link). The more I use it, the more I like it.
I LOVE this recipe!! I’ve made it many times…its delicious and freezes well. I have used different colored peppers, but found that any other than green gives it a sweet flavor, so I stick with green. I also sometimes use a spicy diced tomato, whcih gives the soup a zesty flavor. Finally, I never use the rice in this recipe. I often will eat this soup as a snack, but if I eat it as a meal, I sometimes add my own plain rice to it. This allows me to control my WW points better, too. 🙂
So glad to learn that you love this recipe Karen 🙂
I making it right now for the first time. It’s in the crockpot. I will be using Spanish rice.
Looking forward to it. I did add more beef than called for so I added an additional can of tomatoes. Should be ok.
Thanks for letting me know Cindi! Hope you enjoy it.
Very good. Made this quite a few times now. My oldest always looks forward to this.
Hi MG, Glad you like it!!
Made this today for dinner and it was sooooo good. My husband really loved it ate 3 bowls! 🙂
Hi Jackie!! Hurray! I love to hear that 🙂 Glad it worked for you and your husband!!
I just tasted this and it is really good. It really does need the spanish rice , though. Definate keeper!
I agree, Annemarie. The Spanish rice really makes it good! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
HI Martha, I just wanting to let you know, I really enjoyed both the dishes I made this weekend, the slow cooker stuffed pepper one is my favorite so far, but both the hamburger stew one ( made with ground turkey and beef broth) stuffed pepper are great. Will definitely make again. Can the ground turkey one be frozen now it has been cooked? Thanks
Hi Annemarie, Glad you liked them. I think that they should both freeze fine.
Hi, how much minute rice would you use instead of spanish rice, cooked or uncooked, if not minute rice what would you recommend? It’s cooking now! Can’t wait! Thanks,
Hi Annmarie, Glad you opted for the Spanish rice. It really adds a nice layer of flavor.
This Spanish rice or white rice is added at the end for last 30 minutes right? ! I am trying both this recipe and stuffed pepper soup this weekend. The tomatoes for that recipe is drained too, right. Thanks! So excited to try these recipes I like that the the points are on each recipe !
Hi Annmarie,
In this recipe, you cook the rice according to the package directions. And then just add in the cooked rice to the soup
at the end to let it warm and blend. Hope this helps.
Yes, very much, Thanks for the quick reply! Happy New Year!
Hi, I can’t wait to try your recipes! I do have 1 question, is the can of tomatoes drained? Thanks.
Hi Annemarie,
No, the tomatoes are not drained. Use the tomatoes and juice from the can.
Thanks!
This was REALLY good! My whole family lived it. The 10 year old down to the 18 mo old. Thanks for a great recipe. Heard you on Half Size Me.
MG, Glad your whole family loved it! There really is no higher compliment 🙂
This sounds yummy! I like the addition of the Spanish rice. Pinned!
