Add the olive oil to a large pot and preheat it over medium heat.
Cook the rice according to package instructions and let it sit until the soup is ready to be served.
Sauté the garlic, onion and ground beef/turkey in the pot until it has browned.
Add salt, pepper and tomato paste to the pot and stir until everything is combined. Then, add the bell pepper and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Now, add the canned tomatoes, tomato passata, beef/chicken broth and spices to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pot and let everything simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the bell pepper is tender.
Add the cooked rice to the soup, give it a stir and check if you need to add more salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley (optional) and enjoy!

Serving: If you think there will be leftovers, don't add the rice to the pot of soup. Instead, add the rice to the separate soup servings. The reason: when you add the rice to the soup and later store it in the refrigerator, it soaks up the liquid and becomes mushy. So separate the rice and soup if you plan on having leftovers.
Meat: You can decide if you prefer ground turkey or ground beef to make this dish. Both taste great! The nutrition facts were calculated for a stuffed bell pepper soup using ground turkey.
