Clean Eating Stuffed Pepper Soup

Mother Nature you have done it again, when the groundhog said six more weeks BOY did he ever mean the full six weeks. The sun was slowly starting to creep out and that just wasn't good enough because it snowed & got cold once again. Which is why people are getting sick. One minute it goes from being freezing temps to 70 degrees with windows down & your shades on. But with the cold weather still slowly trying to stay around, I know I find it (as weird as this sounds) hard to find something to eat. Not saying we never have food in our house, but when it is cold at I am trying to stay warm, so I want something warm but healthy all at the same time.


I always wanted to try Stuffed Pepper Soup, so when I found this recipe I decided this is what we are having for dinner.

Ingredients:

 

*3 cups cooked brown rice (if you are paleo; totally do not need to add it in)

*1 lb of lean ground turkey

*1/2 cup of chopped green peppers

*1/2 cup of chopped red peppers

*1 cup of diced onions

*3 cloves of garlic ; chopped

*2 cans of diced tomatoes

*1 3/4 cups of tomato sauce

*2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth

*salt & pepper (optional) for taste

 

 

Directions:

*In a large skillet brown the ground turkey on high and season with salt if you are using on high heat. Drain any fat (if there is any) then reduce to medium heat. Add peppers, onions, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes on low heat.

*Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth, and season with salt & pepper if you like. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes on low heat. Serve about 1 1/3 cup of soup in each bowl and 1/2 cup cooked brown rice on top.

For all my fixers I would say this would be a red (lean turkey), a yellow (brown rice; if you are using), and you could add a green (for the veggies).
