Green Pepper Soup with Ground Beef

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
2. Add the lean ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned and crumbly (about 5-7 minutes), then drain any excess fat.
3. Stir in the diced onion and garlic; sauté for 3-5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
4. Add the diced green peppers to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth.
6. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, scraping the bottom of the pot to release the browned beef bits.
7. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 mins until the aroma is rich and the liquid has thickened slightly.
8. Stir in the cooked brown rice and fresh parsley just before serving.
