Stuffed Pepper Soup
Jodi Danen, RD
A healthy stuffed pepper soup that takes just 20 minutes! Loaded with veggies and packed with flavor, this soup is a great way to get your family eating more veggies. My daughter couldn't stop talking about how delicious dinner was, and let me tell you, this rarely happens! My son scarfed down his bowl almost before I had time to start eating. A meal success. I hope your family enjoys as much as mine did!
