Description
A rich and comforting soup inspired by the classic Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Tender steak, sautéed onions and peppers, and a creamy cheese-filled broth come together for a hearty and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
1 pound sirloin steak, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Slice the sirloin steak into thin strips.
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook the steak until browned. Remove the steak from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper for several minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute while stirring.
- Pour in the beef broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let the soup simmer for 10–15 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
- Add the cream cheese in small pieces, stirring continuously until fully melted and smooth.
- Return the cooked steak to the pot and allow it to warm through.
- Stir in the shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese until melted and the soup becomes creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve warm.
Notes
Add sliced mushrooms with the onions and peppers for extra depth of flavor.
For a spicier soup, include red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
Diced potatoes can be added during simmering to make the soup heartier.
Ribeye can be used instead of sirloin for a richer flavor.
If the soup thickens during storage, add a splash of broth or cream when reheating.
Avoid freezing as the dairy ingredients may change texture.
