Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bell peppers, diced (any color)

Instructions:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat until cooked through. Drain off any excess fat.

- Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If the soup is too thick, you can add more beef broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
