Stuffed Green Pepper Soup

It is alittle cold out and want to make soup.  Might try to make soup every weekend.  This recipe is for a WW Stuffed Green Pepper Soup.  My family gave it a thumbs up......................

1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1 cup diced onion, fresh or frozen
1/2 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
2 cups chopped green peppers
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
3 cups water
1 tbl. beef bouillon
1 cup cooked brown rice

Brown beef and onion.  Place in slow cooker with the remaining ingredients on low for 6-8 hours.  or place in large soup pot and simmer 1 hour. 
makes 12-cups
1 cup = 3 points plus values

Something I did different is I used ground turkey and gave it a dash of hot sauce and dash of cheese.


We got a great deal on these plants. These are going to look great beside the pool.....

We will be closing the pool soon but love how this is turning out.
