Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper (green or red), diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional Substitutions

  • Lean turkey or chicken instead of beef for a healthier option
  • Half-and-half or plant-based cream instead of heavy cream for a lighter version
  • Low-sodium beef broth to control salt content

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Cook the Beef: Add the thinly sliced beef to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
  3. Add the Broth and Simmer: Pour in the beef broth and add the Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Stir in the Cream and Cheese: Lower the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and the soup becomes creamy, about 3-5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For a lighter soup, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based alternative.
  • Use lean turkey or chicken slices instead of beef for a healthier protein option.
  • Low-sodium beef broth helps control salt levels in the soup.
  • Shredded provolone adds a more authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor, but mozzarella works well too.
  • This soup pairs well with crusty bread or a crisp green salad.
