Stuffed Pepper Soup (Gluten-Free)

Having a big bowl of steaming hot soup on a cold winter evening is the bees knees. It warms your insides, doesn't make you feel overly stuffed or sluggish, and is usually pretty simple to make at home. 

We love my Stuffed Peppers, so this recipe was a take on that. I added canned tomatoes and chicken broth to the base of the recipe, and the outcome was a hearty soup version of one of our favorite low-calorie (and gluten-free!) meals. The boys and I gobbled this up. Enjoy!
