We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Beef ... I mentioned a coarse ground beef. I like to use this because the texture really holds up. I ask the butcher to do this, but you can always grind your own at home. And, you can always use the pre-packaged ground beef if you want. Add the olive to a large stock/soup pot and bring to medium heat. Add the beef and cook 5 minutes stirring often. Then, add the onion, red pepper flakes, garlic, and red and green bell peppers; mix well and simmer 3-4 minutes.

  • Step 2: Add the chicken broth making sure to scrape the bits off the bottom. Then add the beef broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, brown sugar, worcestershire, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and mix well. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer, cook an additional 15 minutes.

  • Step 3: Finish ... Check for seasoning, and adjust if necessary. Add the fresh parsley and mix to combine.

  • Step 4: Rice ... As the soup cooks, makes your rice according to package directions.

  • Step 5: Serve ... Add 1/2 cup of the rice to your bowl and top with the soup; garnish with a couple of tablespoons of cheese. ENJOY!
