@ Larry,
Stuffed peppers date back centuries in: India, Egypt, Greece, The Basque Country, The Baltic Countries, and on the North American side of the Atlantic: Mexico, Guatemala, & The USA.
It is a fusión of Greek American, Turkish Ameican and can be converted or renovated into Italian American by the other ingredients and the stuffing / sauce used in the soup and the peppers.
I have travelled through almost all of Italia and stuffed peppers are really only common in Basilicata and Calabria but they are not Bell Peppers. They are chili peppers.
In Italy France and Spain, normally chili peppers ( Esplette is one famous one in The Basque Country of France and Spain ) are sautéed and served as an appetiser or Tapa ..
Interesting ! The Chef / Owner probably wanted to use up the excess peppers they had and the Chef invented this soup you had ..
Have a wonderful July 4th.
