Stuffed Banana Pepper Soup Recipe
Last year, Hubby made this Stuffed Banana Pepper Soup Recipe at least a dozen times. It is simply fantastic. While Hubby makes a lot of great soups (my grandfather always told him he should open up a soup restaurant), I do not always like all of them. I am not really a big soup fan. Oh sure, I will have a bowl of whatever he makes for dinner that night, but when he freezes the rest I seldom have more – with a few exceptions:
Hubby’s Buffalo Chicken Wing Soup Recipe is my favorite. He does not always get the chance to freeze any of the Buffalo Chicken Wing Soup, I like it that much. Same for the Philly Cheesesteak Soup Recipe and the (copycat) Panera’s Cream Cheese Potato Soup – very little to freeze because I gobble them up too!
And the same goes for this Stuffed Banana Pepper Soup Recipe. It is simply fabulous. He’s tweaked the recipe a bit, adding this, trying that, but this is the version we like the best. I hope you enjoy it too!
Notes:
A cheater way to make Chicken Stock if you have not made any in the pressure cooker and frozen it (or bought it canned) is to simply add a teaspoon of chicken bullion to a cup of cold water. Presto! Cheater chicken stock.
