Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 lb ground beef or thinly sliced ribeye

Vegetables

  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup milk or cream

Cheese

  • 1 ½ cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese

Bread

  • Slices of sourdough or French bread

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef and Vegetables: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef or ribeye slices until browned. Remove any excess fat, then add the diced onions and bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized to enhance the flavor.
  2. Build the Soup Base: Add the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to enhance the savory notes.
  3. Add Cream and Cheese: Slowly whisk in the milk or cream to give the soup a velvety texture. Gradually add the shredded cheese, stirring until it melts completely and is fully incorporated, creating a luscious cheesy broth.
  4. Make the Cheesy Toast: Slice your bread and top generously with shredded cheese. Toast under a broiler or in a toaster oven until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Slice for serving alongside the soup.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with cheesy toast on the side or floating on top. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired, and serve hot for maximum comfort.

Notes

  • Use quality cheese: Freshly shredded cheese melts better and delivers richer flavor than pre-shredded options.
  • Cook vegetables slowly: Let onions and peppers caramelize slightly to deepen the soup’s flavor profile.
  • Don’t skip the Worcestershire sauce: It adds essential umami that mimics the authentic cheesesteak taste.
  • Toast bread last minute: Prepare your cheesy toast just before serving for the crispiest texture.
  • Adjust thickness: If the soup is too thick, thin with extra broth or milk to your liking.
