One-Pot Philly Cheesesteak Soup (Printable View)

Creamy beef and provolone soup with bell peppers, crispy bacon, and golden cheesy toast on the side.

# Ingredient List:

→ Soup

01 - 1 pound thinly sliced beef steak, well-marbled
02 - 1 large yellow onion, diced
03 - 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 4 cups beef broth
06 - 1 cup heavy cream
07 - 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
08 - 6 slices bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled

→ Cheesy Toast

09 - 4 slices rustic bread
10 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
11 - 1 cup shredded provolone cheese

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Thinly slice the beef steak, dice the onion, slice the green bell pepper, and mince the garlic for organized preparation.
02 - Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic, sauté until aromatic.
03 - Increase heat to medium-high and add the sliced beef. Sear briefly, stirring, until the beef is just browned.
04 - Pour in beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer for 10 minutes to develop flavor.
05 - Lower heat and stir in heavy cream. Gradually add shredded provolone, stirring constantly until the soup is creamy and cheese has melted completely.
06 - Preheat broiler. Spread butter over one side of each bread slice, top with shredded provolone, and broil until cheese is bubbly and golden, about 2-3 minutes.
07 - Season soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle soup into bowls, top with crispy bacon, and serve immediately with cheesy toast on the side.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For best texture, use thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin steak and add cheese gradually to prevent clumping.
