Stuffed Pepper Soup

In a large saucepan, brown the ground beef and drain off grease. Add peppers and onions to ground beef and cook over medium heat until onions start to become translucent. Then add in garlic and cook for one more minute.

Stir in all of the remaining ingredients, including salt and pepper to taste and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for at least 45 minutes, making sure brown rice is cooked tender.

Serve up with some fresh chopped parsley or basil and a good helping of grated Parmesan cheese.
