This vegetarian stuffed pepper soup is a fun vegetarian take on a classic baked dish!  Stuffed peppers always feel like such a treat to me.  Traditionally they are laborious, difficult to bake, and include a ton of ingredients. This soup takes all the best parts of stuffed peppers, and delivers into a quick and equally amazing dinner!

This is one of the easiest and mind-blowingly delicious soups I have ever made.  There is very little prep time, very little cook time, and is a super easy weeknight meal.  The ingredient list is simple, yet the final product is so flavorful and comforting, it tastes like it has been cooking all day.

Meatless Meal Prep Recipes For the Win!

This meatless stuffed pepper soup is the perfect recipe for healthy homemade meal prep.  I am a huge fan of meal prepping, batch cooking, and making recipes ahead.  I love the convenience of cooking once and being able to enjoy healthy homemade meals during the week when I don’t have time.

There’s a whole section of TheHerbeevore.com dedicated to my favorite tried & true meal prep recipes.  With just a little planning and prep, you can have a week’s worth of recipes ready in the time it would take to make one portion.  Just batch cook, divide into individual containers, and place in the fridge or freezer for later!  I also made a list of my favorite meal prep products on Amazon that I use weekly.

What’s In Vegetarian Stuffed Pepper Soup?

What Is TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)?

TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) are small bits of soy protein, which has a very similar texture to ground beef. Because of this, TVP is really versatile to use in place of real meat, and you can spice it however you like.  We use TVP in soups and stews, for taco filling, and in lasagnas.   TVP is a great pantry-staple protein, and  always keep a few bags of TVP on hand.

How To Make Stuffed Pepper Soup without Meat

  1. Peel the onion and garlic, and chop finely.  Also cut the peppers into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
  2. In a large soup pot, sauté the garlic and onions in the olive oil over medium heat, for 5 minutes until they are soft.  Add the peppers and okra to the pot, and sauté for 5 minutes more.
  3. Add in the crushed and diced tomatoes including the juice, and add the vegetable stock  to the pot, and bring to a boil.  Once boiling, recuse the head to low, and add in the TVP to the pot.  Stir in the chili powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, and simmer for 30 minutes until the peppers are soft.
  4. Once soup is ready, season with salt and pepper for taste.  Serve with a thick slice of fresh baked garlic bread, naan, or a side salad.  Enjoy!

    This is the punish Hood Talk blog for anyone who wants to attempt out out nearly this message. You note so some its most exhausting to present with you (not that I real would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new prolong on a theme thats been scrawled about for age. Nice meaninglessness, simply high!

      Hur vet signaturen Mina att Johanna varit könsmogen bara ett år? Däremot tyckte jag att det var lite jobbigt att inse att Johanna Sjödin faktiskt sexualiserar det offentliga rummet, men gör det med en lesbisk unvdkuteecrlad kropp som ingen man blir sexuellt upphetsad av!!! Så mycket sexualisering helt bortkastad alltså. Mina, du vet väl att de som säljer de hallucinogena drogerna till dig begår ett betydligt större brott..?

      Retired military, Platoon Sgt/operations NCOtap water from a municipal water source can be safely stored for up to one year w/16 drops non scented bleach per Gallon, reccommend rotating every 6 months if using plastic storage containers due to chemical infiltration from containers.. store one gallon per person per day of emergency water usage, Myself personally store 180 day supply, takes 2 hours to rotate stock, water is cheap unless your dying of thirst..VA:F [12o1.1_.169](fr9m 0 votes)
