Cheesy Stuffed Pepper Soup 🫑

One of my fondest memories when I was young was eating at my grandma's house on Sundays. One of my favorite meals was stuffed peppers! If you want to check out my grandma's stuffed pepper recipe, click here. I decided to create a soup that mimics my grandma's stuffed peppers and I did exactly that! Even my sister tried it and said she couldn't believe how delicious it was and how much it reminded her of Sunday afternoons at grandma's house. I added a special little twist with marinated mozzarella balls at the very end. I absolutely cannot wait for you to try this, and I have a sneaky suspicion it's going to be one of your favorite soups.
