SO I was at an Italian restaurant the other day, when I asked the waitress what the soup of the day was ( I love having soup as part of a meal, although my wife thinks I'm crazy when I have soup on 90 F days).
The Waitress replied Italian Wedding Soup, and Stuffed Pepper. She didn't follow the Stuffed Pepper with the word 'Soup', so I wasn't sure if she just meant a stuffed pepper, or stuffed pepper soup.
Anyway, my mind immediately started to try and figure out , if it were a soup, what would it be like. I assumed there would be meat in it, so I just kinda let it go and did not ask any further questions.
As my dinner was being served , a couple was seated at a table near us by another server. I then heard the question ' what's the soup of the day?' and their server did refer to it as 'Stuffed Pepper Soup', but did not describe it.
I almost called the waitress over again, just to describe the soup to me. I figured even if I can't eat it for vegetarian reasons, I'd still get an idea of what it was like and maybe vegetarianize it at home, but I didn't.
So now, sitting here at 5am in another state while my wife sleeps, my mind is running thinking about a stuffed pepper soup.
This leads to my questions:
Is a stuffed pepper soup something that is commonly served at an Italian restaurant? Ive never seen or heard of it before, I'm thinking maybe the chef is just being creative and going out of the box a bit.
Is it something someone here has tried and made before? I'd be curious to hear about it rather than just doing a random search and finding thousands of recipes. Especially one that would be considered an Italian version.
