Healthy and delicious stuffed peppers in heavenly tomato sauce.
Stuffed peppers in a delicious tomato soup are a food of our childhood. Our grandma used to make them all the time, and now we’ve decided to veganize the recipe and they came out so good! They are a perfect healthy lunch that is pretty easy to make. The stuffed peppers and sauce are both so delicious. We always eat them with some mashed potato, as it goes together really well together, but you can also enjoy them with a piece of bread or on their own because they are so good. You can also freeze it, including the sauce, and heat up any time you want to enjoy them.
