Ingredients

  • 1 cup yellow bell pepper **diced into ½ inch squares
  • 1 cup red bell pepper **diced into ½ inch squares
  • 1 cup green bell pepper
  • ¾ cups Jasmine Rice **white Jasmine. Do Not rinse.
  • 1 pound Ground Italian Sausage **Mild or Spicy or Sweet. We used Mild Sausage.
  • 1 cup onion **chopped. Use yellow onion.
  • 1 tbsp garlic **minced
  • 8 oz tomato sauce ** 1 can. 227 g.
  • 15 oz crushed tomatoes ** 1 can. 425 g.
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Paste ** diluted in 6 tbsp water.
  • 3 tbsp Avocado oil ** or use any neutral oil.
  • Salt (to taste) **use according to your taste preference.

Seasonings

Liquid

  • 5 cups chicken stock **I used 3 cubes Better than Bouillon, you can use 3 tbsp paste as well diluted in 5 cups hot water.

Instructions

  • Brown the Sausage: Set the Instant Pot on SAUTE function & set it on HIGH heat. Add oil and when the oil becomes moderately hot gently release the sausage and saute until nicely browned.
  • Saute the aromatics & Seasonings: Add the chopped onion, garlic and the seasonings. Saute until the onion begin to turn limp.
  • De-glaze Pot: Pour the chicken stock, give everything a good mix and de-glaze the pot very well scraping the sides & the bottom of the pot with the help of a spatula. There should not be any stuck food particles at the bottom of the pot. This will prevent the BURN error.
  • Pressure Cook Soup: Now, add the Jasmine rice (not rinsed), bell peppers, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce & salt. Give everything a good stir. Secure the lid, seal the valve & PRESSURE COOK on HIGH for just 3 minutes.
  • Quick Release Pressure: Once, the Pressure cooking cycle is over the Instant Pot will begin to beep. Immediately perform a quick pressure release (QPR) by manually moving the valve from the SEALING to the VENTING position. Open the lid when the floating pin drops.
  • Garnish & Serve: Give the stuffed pepper soup a gently stir. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Thin Soup: For a thinner soup add 6 or 6.5 cups water instead of 5 cups. Todays recipe will reward you with a soup that's slightly on the thicker side.
  2. Cooking Time: DO NOT pressure cook more than 3 minutes, otherwise, both the rice and the bell peppers will turn mushy.
  3. Low Carb Stuffed Pepper Soup Recipe: You can sub the rice with cauliflower rice in today's recipe. Use 1 cup cauliflower rice and Pressure Cook the soup for 2 minutes instead of 3 minutes.
  4. Can I use Long Grain white rice? Yes, you can. In that case the pressure cooker time will change 5 minutes. Also, the bell peppers will turn mushy. This soup works amazingly well with Jasmine rice as this rice and the bell peppers shares the same cooking time.
  5. Can I use Brown Rice? No, this recipe won't work with brown rice. Brown rice needs 18-22 mins to be well done.
  6. Spicy Soup: For a spicy soup that's really hot add some chopped Jalapenos along with the onion. Do not de-seed the jalapenos. This will make the soup awesomely spicy!
  7. A mildly sweet soup: If you love mildly sweet soups than do add 2 tbsp brown sugar along with the salt. We love the soup savory, hence we did not use any sugar in the recipe.
