Weight Watchers Stuffed Pepper Soup is probably the most used recipe in my arsenal. One of my absolute favorite dinners growing up is when my mother would make stuffed peppers. However, I would always eat the inside “stuffing” and just pick at the giant pepper on the outside. As an adult, I decided I was going to make it the way I wanted, 90% filling and 10% pepper and it evolved into this delicious stuffed pepper soup that is just so warm and comforting.
