Instructions

Follow these steps to create your delicious Philly Cheesesteak Soup.

Sauté the Beef and Vegetables

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced beef and cook until browned. Remove the beef and set aside. In the same pot, add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened.

Combine Broth and Seasonings

Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then return the beef to the pot.

Add Cream and Cheese

Stir in the heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese. Continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once cooked, let the soup sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your Philly Cheesesteak Soup experience, consider serving it with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad. The crunch of the bread pairs perfectly with the creamy soup, while a salad adds a refreshing contrast. You might also garnish with extra provolone cheese or fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

For a fun twist, try serving the soup in a bread bowl. Hollow out a crusty roll and ladle the soup inside for a delightful presentation that will impress your guests. This interactive element can make your meal more enjoyable and memorable.

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftovers, storing your Philly Cheesesteak Soup is simple. Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, or you can freeze it for longer storage. Just be sure to leave some space in the container, as the soup may expand when frozen.

When you're ready to enjoy the leftovers, simply reheat on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally. You may need to add a splash of beef broth or water to loosen the soup, as it may thicken in the fridge or freezer. Enjoying this comforting dish a second time is just as satisfying as the first!
