Foodie Friday ~ Stuffed Green Pepper Soup and Carmel Corn

This soup is quick and easy. A great fall meal. Saute onion, celery, garlic and green pepper in oil until just tender.

Stir in beef.

Add everything else.

Then enjoy:)
Stuffed Pepper Soup
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped celery

1/4 cup uncooked white rice

Next we have Paula Deen's Carmel Corn.
I popped 3 bags of microwave plain popcorn.

Butter, brown sugar, salt and light corn syrup.

Coat well.

It's ready:)
Carmel Corn
1 cup butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
Over medium heat, combine first four ingredients and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda. Stir well. Pour over 8 quarts popped corn. Stir to coat well. Bake in large roaster or pan (i used a disposable pan and Pam sprayed it) at 200 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on waxed paper to dry.

That soup looks so delish! I love green peppers, but alas, it's one of only two things my hubby won't eat. The caramel corn looks yummy!

I was thinking of making kettle corn popcorn for Halloween gifts for my neighbors this year. Can you tell me the brand of the pain popcorn in your recipe? All I can find here is salted and buttered etc. but no plain. I may have to pop the old fashioned way. Isn't it funny how we get so spoiled with all the convenience items for the microwave:)

Joyce ~ Thanks for stopping by. I used Centrella natural flavor microwave popcorn. The box came with 3 packages. I used all three. Use anything with natural flavor. The old fashion way would'nt be all that bad. Hope you find natural flavor. Have fun:)
