Follow these simple steps to create your Easy Stuffed Pepper Soup:

1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.

2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Combine Ingredients: Mix in the diced tomatoes (with juice), vegetable broth, cooked rice, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

5. Simmer: Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

6. Taste and Adjust: After simmering, taste and adjust seasoning as desired. You can add more salt, pepper, or spices according to your preference.

7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if you wish. Enjoy your heartwarming meal!
