Lean ground beef, chopped bell pepper, onions, tomatoes and seasonings in a cozy soup topped with rice and cheddar cheese… YES!
This is also a good way to recycle leftover rice (I always seem to cook too much rice and have leftovers). And the best part?! It freezes awesome, but don’t freeze with rice… top with rice and cheese after it has defrosted and heated.
This soup is even delicious without the rice if you’re cutting back on carbs – just top with cheese.
There’s just something I love about smelling a big pot of hearty soup simmering on the stove… I think I love smelling it simmer about as much as I enjoy eating it (almost!). Enjoy!
