Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 500g lean ground beef (or turkey mince)
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 700g passata (or crushed tomatoes)
- 400g diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 litre beef broth (or vegetable broth)
- 100g long-grain rice, uncooked
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, red pepper, and green pepper and cook for another 3 minutes, until slightly tender.
- Add the ground beef to the pan and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess fat.
- Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Give it a good mix so the meat and veggies are evenly coated with all the lovely spices.
- Transfer the mixture from the frying pan to your slow cooker.
- Pour in the passata, diced tomatoes, and beef broth. Add the uncooked rice. Stir everything together to combine.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the rice is tender and the soup has thickened slightly.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve with a crusty bread roll for dipping, if you like!
