Hello, food enthusiasts! Winter is creeping in, and what’s better than a warm, comforting bowl of soup to cozy up with? While some of you may be into prolon soup cleanse for detoxifying benefits, today we’re delving into something that’s more in the comfort food territory—Stuffed Pepper Soup!
I cannot begin to describe how this dish encapsulates the essence of comfort food.
It takes me back to childhood, to simpler times when the most complex question was what game to play next.
It’s a burst of flavors and textures, much like a traditional stuffed pepper, but without the fuss of the stuffing.
