Stuffed pepper soup.
Copied and pasted

This is a cozy way to make stuffed peppers and one of my favorite soup recipes. Trust me, you will love it!

INGREDIENTS

1/2 pound Italian sausage
1/2 pound lean ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 cups low-sodium beef broth
2 cups low-sodium chicken – or vegetable broth
1 can (14.5 ounces) tomato sauce
3/4 cup uncooked rice (I use jasmine)
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

In a pot or casserole over medium heat, brown the Italian sausage and ground beef; separating as you go.

In the middle of browning, add onions and peppers; stirring several times. During the last minute of browning, reduce heat to medium-low and add chopped garlic, stirring constantly. Drain the excess fat.

Add the beef broth, chicken broth and tomatoes to the salsa and simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the peppers begin to soften.

Add the rice and coat well. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the rice is tender. For best results, serve quickly. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

PICKLES

This is a way to make some delicious pickles. Get a quart of hamburger dill pickles, drain them, (keep the jar,) put the pickles in a bowl. Pour a pound of sugar and a small bottle of Louisiana hot sauce. Stir well once a day, cover with a cloth, do that for 3 days. Put the pickles back in the jar and put them in the fridge. They are good. A woman who owned a bbq place here gave me that recipe, except she used a gallon of pickles and 4 pounds of sugar, and a large bottle of hot sauce.

I’ll share over the next few day my favorite tinctures…

Turmeric root is a fantastic ingredient that can increase the antioxidant capacity of the body and protects the body from free radicals.
There are studies to show that turmeric may even slow down the ageing process.

And why is turmeric such an excellent ingredient? Well, have you heard of curcumin?

Curcumin is the active ingredient of turmeric root and is known for various fantastic health benefits…heart health, regulating blood pressure and reducing the risk of clotting, as well as a wonderful anti-inflammatory.

There are even studies that show that curcumin could help prevent the growth (and development) of cancerous cells. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory properties do a wonder of good for our bodies in staving off a large number of diseases and issues.
