Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup

Here's a version of a Stuffed Bell Pepper in a Soup. I grew up on Stuffed Bell Peppers. I love the look and the taste of this Soup that replicates the flavor of a Stuffed Bell Pepper.

Traditional Stuffed Green Bell Peppers.

Better than Bouillon is available in Beef , Chicken, Vegetable and Mushroom.
This is my first choice for a Vegetarian Broth.
You can also use Vegetable Bouillon Cubes if you can't find Better than Bouillon products.

When I made this for the first time, it was at our home in Colorado last Fall and I didn't photograph the steps. I just made it again today and here is an update with photographs. It's a dreary, damp and chilly week so this comfort soup is perfect.

Brown the Sausage.

Add Onion and Garlic.
