I thought this was a really tasty recipe, a real hit with the whole family. The only change I might make would be to use less broth, but other than that, a definite keeper!

This was great comfort food. I made it as written but added about 1/4 cup more rice because I like my soup more stew-like. I also used chicken broth, but I think beef broth would give it a great flavor too. It was warming and hearty enough for a main dish. This was pretty easy to throw together too. Thanks!

We loved this. The 3 of ate it all in 1 sitting. I used beef broth instead of vegetable broth. A very yummy soup! Good luck!

This soup is outstanding! If you have ever had green pepper soup at a restaurant or homemade stuffed green peppers, this tastes just like that. I did use tomato juice in place of the V8 juice and beef broth in place of the vegetable broth. I also added about 1/2 cup more brown rice and would suggest using about 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef if you would like more meat. I have had mine simmering for several hours now and the taste is fantastic. The potatoes are not mushy and the rice has not overtaken the soup. I also added about a tablespoon more of brown sugar. This is a great recipe that you can make your own depending on your tastes. Thanks for sharing.

This was so-so. I usually love recipes that use cinnamon, but frankly I felt something was lacking... Sorry.

This soup was just ok. It had good potential but it had no flavour other than from the green peppers and the V8 juice. It really needed some spices to jazz it up a bit. DH added some hot sauce and pepper which he said made it more flavourful. Side Note: I did freeze the extras in a small bowls and then transfered them to a labeled ziploc bag. My mom defrosted one for lunch the following week and she said it froze well. Good Luck!

The flavor was nice, but the texture didn't work for me. After an hour cook time, the potato and rice were overcooked resulting in a mushy porridge texture. Because the flavor is so nice, I think the soup is worth tweaking. I would cook the soup for about 30 minutes before adding rice and potatoes, so that they will be just tender when the soup is ready.

Reviewed for RSC #9. Oops, this might be very subjective, but this soup didn't do it for us. I halved the recipe but stayed true to the ingredients and amounts given. Maybe it was the green pepper, maybe some condiment was missing. If this wasn't a contest recipe, I'd have tweaked it. The tiny bit of cinnamon was lost, and anyway, cinnamon would not complement green pepper in any way. I honestly wish I could be more enthusiastic about this soup — but the list of contest ingredients were not easy to make magic with and the taste and texture was somewhat disappointing. It was a good, clear recipe from a cook who tried to use imagination. Good luck with any other recipes you entered!
