I love soup. Vegetable soup, potato soup, butternut squash soup, tortilla soup I really love soup. There is just something comforting about a bowl of soup. It isn't just that it tastes good, there is an emotional component to is. When my mother was alive, if you were sick or sad, you got a bowl of vegetable soup. I miss my mom and I love soup.
A couple of weeks ago I made my crazy version of vegetable soup. My friend Bill read my blog and sent me a link to a recipe for stuffed pepper soup. Who does not loved stuffed peppers? Certainly not me, so a recipe that combined the two was just too good to resist.

As yummy as that looked, I've already told you that I'm not that great at sticking to directions. But I really just added a couple of things and changed a couple of things this time. Honest.
First I started with about 2 1/2 pounds of ground turkey. I put that in a pot to brown and added a medium chopped onion.
After those two items had browned, I added 2 quarts of water, a 29 ounce can of tomato sauce, and a 29 ounce can of diced tomatoes. I chopped two large bell peppers and threw those in. I added a quarter cup of packed brown sugar, (I probably didn't need that much) a large ground up beef bullion cube, a package of sliced baby bella mushrooms, salt, pepper, and two cups of uncooked brown Minute Rice.
I brought all of this to a boil and then covered it and turned it down to simmer (or as close to simmer as my stove does) for about 45 minutes.
Put it in a bowl, pour a glass of wine and eat. This was really, really good soup. To quote my friend Martin, mmmmmm soup! Thanks for the recipe Bill!
