It’s almost Easter and bell peppers are in season in sunny Florida. That means I’ll be whipping up one of my go-to summer favorites on the regular—Stuffed Peppers. I don’t cook dinner often, thankfully my wonderful husband has a knack for it, but when I do, this Progresso Soup Stuffed Peppers recipe is always in my rotation.
As a kid, I hated stuffed peppers. Most kids probably do, right? I actually remember plotting to hide them in my napkin somehow just to avoid eating them! As an adult, my tastebuds have thankfully evolved and I’ve grown to love stuffed peppers. I omit the rice, a standard stuffed pepper ingredient, in my recipe because my husband and I try to keep carbs to a minimum. A can of Progresso Hearty Tomato soup gives these peppers a great tomatoey base without all the hassle. Sometimes I even chop the onions the night before and store them in the refrigerator to save time.
Enjoy!

These look so easy and delicious! I can’t wait to try them!
I don’t actually remember ever having stuffed peppers before, so this is something that I would like to try out someday. I LOVE cheese, so this is a good recipe for me to try someday!
I grew up eating stuffed bell peppers but with a dryer sauce with less tomato sauce. I should try again!
oh wow – the cheese just lured me right in! I wouldn’t have thought of the soup as an additive but it’s fantastic looking!
Holy #foodporn I love it! Such an easy thing to throw together too!
It’s not really my style, but I think it’s super creative to put soup inside a pepper. How fun!
This looks so yummy and easy enough that even I could make it!
