This is a great recipe to use up some of those fresh green bell peppers from the garden. Since my husband doesn't care of traditional stuffed peppers, I was looking for a good recipe for Stuffed Pepper Soup. My sister-in-law, Tracy, sent me one she had, and so did a few other foodie friends, so I took the basics of what they had and made it my own. The results are this awesome soup, with just a little bit of spiciness.
