Stuffed Sweet Pepper Soup

We can almost live on soup in the winter and this is a very comforting soup on a cold day. I love stuffed peppers and this recipe combines all those flavors into a delicious soup.

 I normally make it with rice but decided to try Quinoa this time and it worked great. Adjust the amount of tomato juice and water to your liking to make it thinner or thicker.
