Stuffed Pepper Soup

    For people who say they can't cook, this recipe is legit dummy proof.  There is no way on earth this could be messed up.  It is so simple.  Like,  dumb simple.  All of the ingredients you might already have in your house,  so it's one of those go to quick meals.  It's also clean,  and paleo if you omit the rice.  I added 1/2 cup of rice to each of my prepped meals, because I sometimes need that to feel fuller longer.
