In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat.
Sauté the Vegetables:
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the ground beef. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the Peppers:
Stir in the chopped green, red, and yellow bell peppers. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the peppers begin to soften.
Add Liquids and Seasoning:
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Simmer:
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the Rice:
Stir in the cooked rice and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad.
