Directions
-
In a large pot, begin by browning the ground beef over medium heat. Cook until it is fully cooked through, ensuring all the pink is gone. Drain any excess fat to keep the soup light and wholesome.
-
Once you have the beef ready, add the diced bell peppers, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook these vegetables until they become tender, allowing their flavors to infuse with the beef. This step adds a tremendous base of flavor to your soup.
-
After the vegetables are tender, stir in the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, cooked rice, Italian seasoning, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well, embracing the union of these ingredients that will create a warming tapestry of taste.
