Ingredients

10 servings

•

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
•

3 green bell peppers, diced small
•

1 onion, diced small
•

1 clove garlic, minced
•

2.5 pounds ground beef
•

3 quarts water
•

2 (29 ounce) cans tomato sauce
•

2 (28 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes in juice

•

0.5 cup ketchup
•

0.5 cup beef base
•

0.25 cup brown sugar
•

0.5 teaspoon salt
•

0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
•

4 cups water
•

2 cups brown rice

Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir bell pepper, onion, and garlic in hot oil until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Break ground beef into small chunks and add to the pot; cook and stir until completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes more. Drain excess fat and return pot to heat.
Stir water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, ketchup, beef base, brown sugar, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until the flavors marry, about 30 minutes.
While the soup simmers, bring water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes; stir into the soup.
