I have mentioned before how he is such a “meat and potatoes” guy and the only way he will eat soup is if it’s thick and hearty. Well, this soup fits the bill- it’s loaded! But I love it because it’s loaded with good things and you can add even more vegetables if you’d like.

Why the brown sugar? I would never put it in stuffed peppers.

I make this with 1lb hamburger and 1 ring of Killabasa (sp). Also I use brown rice instead of white and I ad a full large can of tomato juice along with water. We love this soup.

Instead of sugar with my tomatoes to take out the acid taste, I use pumpkin or butternut squash. It is healthier and you can't taste it when you use just a little bit. I've been making a very similar recipe for a long time and always add about 1/4 cup of one of these instead of sugar. I do it in all my tomato based soups. Of course this time of year, I also use fresh tomatoes, fresh peppers, fresh garlic and the fresh pumpkin out of my garden. This is absolutely one of our favorite soups. I even make extra to freeze and it does freeze well.

Love this idea!! I don't have any pumpkin or butternut squash puree around...would pureed sweet potato work too?

How many servings would you say this is? and what is the portion size? Sounds so good. I'd like to plug it in to the Weight Watchers recipe builder to figure out points. Thanks!

When I make this soup, I substitute cabbage for rice. It adds another layer of flavor and texture!

This seems bland.. No spices?

Nice soup. I think I would also add the cabbage and pumpkin or squash instead of sugar. Thanks.

We had this for dinner tonight, everyone loved it. I'm needing to have gallbladder surgery and substituted low fat ground turkey for the ground beef. Really healthy and yummy!

I made this for dinner tonight, and it was super yummy!!! I added a touch of balsamic vinegar to the sauce. Next time I would prefer to use either stewed or whole tomatoes and break them up. I loved the recipe. I've never used pumpkin or squash in tomatoes, is is mashed or chunks?

You could also do cauliflower rice instead of rice! And if you want more flavor just add some taco seasoning. Super simple.

Just made this tonight for a potluck tomorrow. It’s so good! I added some chili powder to the beef because I love it. Can’t wait for everyone to try it tomorrow!!!
