Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Protein

  • 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin beef

Vegetables

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Dairy

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 4 oz cream cheese or 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tbsp butter or oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Beef: Heat butter or oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced beef and cook until browned but still tender, locking in flavor and creating a delicious base.
  2. Cook the Vegetables: Add sliced onions and bell peppers to the pot with the beef. Sauté until onions are golden and peppers have softened, bringing the classic Philly cheesesteak flavor.
  3. Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in minced garlic, salt, pepper, and optional paprika or Italian seasoning. Cook for another minute to let the aromas develop.
  4. Pour in Broth and Simmer: Add beef broth to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer. Let cook for 15-20 minutes until flavors meld and beef becomes tender.
  5. Stir in Cream and Cheese: Add cream cheese or heavy cream along with shredded provolone or mozzarella. Stir continuously until cheese melts smoothly, creating a luscious, creamy soup.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced beef to ensure tenderness and quicker cooking.
  • Take time to caramelize onions and peppers fully for deeper flavor.
  • Add cheese slowly to avoid clumping and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Use a high-quality beef broth to elevate the dish.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or extra cheese just before serving for a fresh finish.
