Flavorful Ingredients

This recipe features ribeye steak, known for its rich marbling and tenderness, which makes it perfect for a soup that celebrates the classic Philly cheesesteak. The addition of fresh bell peppers and onions not only adds color but also infuses the broth with a sweet and savory flavor that’s irresistible.

The star of this recipe is undoubtedly the provolone cheese, which melts beautifully into the soup, creating a creamy texture that envelops each bite.

Perfect for Meal Prep

One of the best aspects of this Philly Cheesesteak Soup is its suitability for meal prep.

Additionally, this soup freezes well, allowing you to save leftovers for future meals. Just be sure to store it in airtight containers, and when you're ready to enjoy it again, thaw and reheat gently to preserve the creamy texture of the provolone cheese.

Gather all the ingredients before you begin for a smooth cooking experience.

Instructions

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the onions, green and red bell peppers until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Cook the Beef

Add the thinly sliced ribeye to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine the Broth

Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Add Cream and Cheese

Stir in the heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese, allowing it to melt completely. Simmer for another 5 minutes before serving.

Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese if desired.

Serving Suggestions

This Philly Cheesesteak Soup is delicious on its own, but you can elevate the meal with some simple serving suggestions. Consider pairing it with crusty bread or a side of garlic knots for a satisfying dinner. A fresh garden salad can also complement the rich flavors of the soup, adding a light and crisp contrast.

For a fun twist, serve the soup in bread bowls. Hollow out some crusty rolls and ladle the hot soup inside for a delightful and edible container that adds to the overall experience. Your guests will love the interactive element of dipping and enjoying the bread along with the soup.

Storage Tips

To keep your Philly Cheesesteak Soup fresh and flavorful, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator if you're consuming it within a week. If you’re planning to keep it longer, consider freezing portions of the soup. When freezing, it's best to leave out the provolone cheese until you're ready to reheat to ensure the best texture upon serving.

When reheating, do so on low heat to avoid curdling the cream. Stir gently as it warms up, adding a bit of beef broth or water if the soup thickens too much during storage. This ensures that you maintain the creamy consistency that makes this soup so enjoyable.
