Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef

6 cups water

1 can (28 ounces) tomato sauce

1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

2 cups chopped green peppers

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules

1 teaspoon pepper

2 cups cooked long grain rice

Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart. Drain excess fat.

  • Add the water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (with juices), and chopped green peppers. Stir to combine.

  • Stir in the brown sugar, salt, beef bouillon granules, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes.

  • Add the cooked rice and stir until combined. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, until heated through.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or sugar as needed.

  • Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, swap ground beef with plant-based meat or a mix of mushrooms, zucchini, and beans.

Spice things up by adding diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the soup.

You can use brown rice or quinoa for a different texture.
