When you’re craving stuffed peppers but don’t want all the work of making them, this easy stuffed pepper soup recipe is your answer! It’s hearty, full of vegetables, and a cozy meal for cool nights — similar to keto chili, but with less simmering time. It’s best stuffed bell pepper soup I’ve ever made! And because this keto stuffed bell pepper soup is made with cauliflower rice instead of traditional white rice, it’s also naturally healthy, low carb, paleo, and whole30 approved, without any special ingredients.
If you love stuffed peppers and have a little more time, try my more classic versions: taco stuffed peppers, lasagna stuffed peppers, chicken fajita stuffed peppers, or Mexican stuffed poblano peppers.
How To Make Stuffed Pepper Soup
- Saute aromatics. Heat oil in dutch oven until shimmering. Add minced garlic and saute until fragrant.
- Brown beef. Add ground beef to dutch oven, breaking up with a spatula, and cook until browned.
- Add vegetables. Add bell peppers, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, bone broth, water, and Italian seasoning.
TIP: Adjust salt if needed. If you use regular broth instead of bone broth, you’ll need to add additional salt to taste.
- Simmer. Bring stuffed bell pepper soup to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until peppers are tender.
- Add cauliflower rice. Cook for just a few more minutes, until it’s tender. Adjust salt and pepper to your liking, and enjoy!
Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe FAQs
How many calories in stuffed pepper soup?
The calories in stuffed pepper soup will vary from recipe to recipe. This recipe has 441 calories per generous 2 cup serving (enough for a meal).
How many carbs in stuffed pepper soup?
Most stuffed pepper soup recipes are made with rice, which will give them about 20 grams carbohydrates or so, depending on the recipe.
This stuffed pepper soup recipe is made with cauliflower rice, which drastically lowers the net carbs to 7.7 grams in a large bowl (2 cups). That’s enough for a meal, or if you prefer, feel free to halve the serving size and serve it with something on the side instead.
Is stuffed pepper soup healthy?
Absolutely! Much like my vegetable soup recipe, this one is packed with veggies. And with the beef added, it’s a complete meal, too.
Can you use regular rice?
Yes, you can, it would just be less healthy and not low carb. If you use regular rice, you’d need to add the rice at the same time as the broth, before simmering, because it takes much longer to cook than cauliflower rice.
What to serve with stuffed pepper soup?
If you go with the listed serving size of 2 cups, your simple stuffed pepper soup may not even need a side. If you’d like to have one, serve it with a simple green salad with Caesar salad dressing, or maybe a batch of my healthy garlic cheese bread.
Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup Storage Instructions
Can you make it ahead?
Yes, this soup stores very well, so it’s great to make ahead or add it to your meal prep rotation.
How to store keto stuffed pepper soup:
Store this soup in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Can I freeze stuffed pepper soup?

TIP: Freeze soup flat in a freezer bag first. Once it’s frozen solid, store it upright to save space.
Reheating instructions:
Reheat the soup in the microwave or in a saucepan, until hot.

0I loved this! Tasty and filling! I recommend only adding 1 cup of water (versus 2) as the veggies do produce some water of their own as they cook. I added diced onion with the garlic for more aromatics, used chicken broth instead of beef (what I had on hand), and served with shredded mozerella and parm and Maya’s cheesy garlic biscuits from the new book. Will enjoy again!
Abi Hanson
0I absolutely loved this! It was perfect for meal prepping!
Raven
0This was great! Added some mozzarella cheese on top & kids loved it!
Brooke
0Do you have an instaant pot version of this recipe? Thanks!
Wholesome Yum D
0Hi Brooke, I do not but there are other commenters that have left instructions on using an instant pot.
Linda Dulmes
0This soup is very good! I had frozen ground beef and not much time, so I made this in the Instant Pot. I cooked the ground beef, and then added the rest of the ingredients, I had a can of diced tomatoes with Basil, Garlic and Oregano, so I used that. I also used chicken bone broth and not beef. I did a pressure cook for 3 minutes and then added the cauliflower. Turned out great! I’ll make it again. The soup is so yummy, but why do recipes always underestimate the prep time? It took me at least 30 minutes to get it all together. Thanks.
Brooke
0How long total did you cook in the instant pot?
Lisa
0Wow! Made this tonight. I used regular rice and Rotel Fire Roasted Diced tomatoes with chiles, which gave it a kick!! This was delicious. Thanks for the recipe! I’ll try the Keto version next time.
Cissy
0This was an amazing dish. I used Ground Chicken because it is what I had on hand. Using Cauliflower Rice was excellent and it reheats so well!
Liz Mareld
0Made the stuffed bell soup tonight. Definitely making it again. Delicious. My dad who is nonketo loved it as well
Renee Brooks
0So yummy! Will definitely be making this again. Super easy too.
Sandi Johnson
0Made this soup over the weekend with fresh peppers from the garden…banana, red, green, and a couple of jalapenos for good measure. It was fabulous. Reheating it at work this week has been even better. Loved it. Thanks. I did add a sprinkling of red pepper flakes for an added bite.
Jamie
0This recipe was blah, lacked flavor. I usually try to salvage recipes by adding extra spices, did not help. Ended up throwing it out. What a waste of meat. But a least I tried.
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Jamie, Sorry this recipe didn’t suit your tastes. Usually, the peppers bring a lot of flavor to this soup, but flavors can vary when using fresh vegetables. I have several other soups that you may appeal to you. This French Onion Soup, Taco Soup, Chicken Pot Pie Soup, and Zuppa Toscana all have great flavor. I hope you find one you love!
sarina
0I was wondering if you can use less sodium beef broth. Looks yummy!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Sarina, Yes, absolutely!

0Maya this soup was so good. My husband and I actually like it better than chili. It gets better every time we warm it up. Plus as always the recipe is so easy. A little goes a long ways in keeping you full. my husband tops his with a little mozzarella cheese. Again YUM-O!!!
Sharon
0Looking for low carb soup that my husband would eat (he doesn’t follow keto). I made this tonight. He raved, he loved it so much. I will freeze some for another day.
I have to say when I am looking for a good keto recipe, I always check Wholesome yum first. I have never had a recipe from your site that I did not like.
Thank you for providing these wonderful recipes.
