I love soup, but most of all, I love soup that actually has some substance to it, that will actually fill me up and keep me full.

When I say I love soup, I really mean it. It’s one of my favorite comfort foods.

I don’t make soup that often because my husband doesn’t care for soup. 

We’ve actually bickered about it. 

If I do make soup, I have to freeze it, so I don’t waste a bunch of it.

Guess what?

He actually eats this soup!

He likes it because it fills him up and is tasty.

I think it’s comforting to me because when I was young, my grandma had soup prepared often.

She would usually serve up some delicious soup with a half of a sandwich for lunch. 

I miss that. 

This Low Calorie Slow Cooker Stuffed Pepper Soup is especially comforting to me because my mom often made stuffed peppers while I was growing up. 

I guess that makes this soup my comfort-comfort food.

Full disclosure – while I loved the taste of the stuffed peppers she made, I couldn’t stand the texture of the cooked peppers. 

I still have issues eating cooked peppers if the pepper is cut in big chunks.  

I would usually just eat the filling out of the peppers and leave a sad, empty shell of a pepper no longer stuffed.

That’s why I like this soup so much; the peppers are chopped so small I can easily eat them and enjoy all the filling as well. 

In this recipe, I cut the peppers up really small; I dice them. 

That way, it doesn’t bother me if I bite down on one. 

Recently, I found a recipe of my grandma’s stuffed pepper soup and loved it so much. 

In this version, I have lightened up the ingredients to make it Weight Watchers™ program friendly.

The peppers in the soup along with the rice bulk up this soup and fill me up on those cold, chilly days with no guilt!

It’s so easy to make; you just throw it all in the crock pot or instant pot and forget about it until it’s done!

The rice should be cooked separately because if you don’t cook it separately, it will become all mushy.

Even though it still tastes good, it ends up being more of a casserole than a soup. 

You can easily make the rice in the slow cooker prior to making the soup, but I just cook it on the stove.

I fill up the pan of water, put the rice in and set a timer so I don’t overcook it.

I set it in the fridge until the soup is done and add the rice to my individual bowls of soup.

This recipe serves about six people, but you can easily double it and freeze some, like I have.

This Low Calorie Slow Cooker Stuffed Pepper Soup will have you feeling satisfied, and your family will love it too. 

My husband is not a fan of soup and actually eats this one!

He said he enjoys it because it actually feels more like a meal and not an appetizer.

I usually serve it with some salad or some reduced calorie bread. 

I prefer ground beef in the soup, but you can easily substitute ground chicken or turkey as well. 

You can remove the meat all together if you prefer as well!

This hearty bowl of soup will definitely cure your comfort food craving.

It’s a warm, hearty meal without the guilt.
