Can I use cooked rice instead?

Absolutely! Just add it at the end and allow it to heat through.

What can I substitute for ground beef?

Ground turkey or chicken works wonderfully! You can even try lentils for a vegetarian twist.

Not at all! It’s very mild, but feel free to add diced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat.

Definitely! Just ensure you use gluten-free broth and rice, and you’re good to go!

In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground meat of your choice for about 5-7 minutes until it’s no longer pink.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the peppers are tender.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, rice, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper, bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the rice is fully cooked.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheese if desired.

This soup is versatile—feel free to use whatever vegetables or ground meat you have on hand.
