Grind the meat in a big stock pot until it's brown. Chop the fat and then add the onion and pepper. Without browning, cook the onion until it becomes transparent.
Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, thyme, and sage. Once the peppers are soft, cover and cook for 30–45 minutes.
Add the rice to 2 cups of boiling water in a separate pot. Before adding to soup, cook rice until it's soft. Add the soup and heat until it's hot.
