Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 tablespoon 22g olive oil
  • 1.3 lbs 600g lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 cup 150g diced onion
  • 2 teaspoon 8g minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ¼ cups 175g diced red bell pepper
  • 1 ¼ cups 175g diced green bell pepper
  • 1 ¼ 15oz/425g can tomato sauce
  • 1 ¼ cups 300ml beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon 6g Italian seasoning
  • 2 ½ cups 500g cooked white rice
  • 2 ½ tablespoon 6g chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Stir in the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the diced red and green bell peppers to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften them.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and let the soup gently simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend and the peppers to become tender.
  • Stir in the cooked white rice and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving.

Notes

  • Using 90% lean ground beef provides flavor without excessive grease. If using a higher fat content, drain excess fat before proceeding.
  • Pre-cooked rice is essential to prevent it from absorbing too much liquid during cooking.
  • For the best texture, store any leftovers with the rice separately until reheating.
  • Consider garnishing with shredded cheese, sour cream, or extra parsley for added flair.
