Paleo Whole30 Stuffed Pepper Soup

This Paleo Whole30 Stuffed Pepper Soup is easy to make and so hearty. All the flavors of a stuffed pepper in soup form. Gluten free, dairy free, and low FODMAP. Made in the Instant Pot or on the stove top.

’m back with another amazing soup. They are definitely a favorite of mine during the colder months, and judging on how popular they always are, you guys love them as well.

This soup is packed with deliciousness. Lots of bell peppers, fire roasted tomatoes, grass-fed ground beef, and seasonings that give it so much flavor. Yes, there is white rice in some of these pictures. We tolerate white rice ok and if you do as well then I highly recommend it! If you’re doing a Whole30 or can’t handle rice, then use cauliflower rice or leave it out. It’s still hearty and flavorful without it.

I made this twice in one day to try it out both on the stove-top and in the Instant Pot. As usual, the Instant Pot version was my favorite. It was less hands-on time and came out just as good as the stove-top version.
