A rich and creamy Philly Cheese Steak Soup that combines tender sirloin steak, sautéed vegetables, and a luscious cheese-infused broth for a comforting and flavorful meal perfect for chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup Base

  • 1 pound sirloin steak (can substitute with ribeye or flank steak)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (can substitute with vegetable oil)
  • 1 medium onion (or use shallots)
  • 1 medium bell pepper (any variety works)
  • 2 cloves garlic (or use garlic powder)

For Creaminess and Flavor

  • 4 cups beef broth (can use vegetable broth)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or use half-and-half)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (or use soy sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or use fresh thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

For Extra Creaminess

  • 8 ounces cream cheese (or substitute with mascarpone)
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese (can substitute with cheddar)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Sear the Steak: Add thinly sliced sirloin steak, seasoned with salt and pepper. Sear for about 3-4 minutes until browned.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add chopped onion and sliced bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Simmer Steak: Stir the reserved steak back into the pot, and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes to meld flavors.
  7. Melt Cream Cheese: Reduce heat to low; stir in cubed cream cheese until melted and smooth.
  8. Add Heavy Cream: Slowly add heavy cream, mixing well but avoiding boiling the soup.
  9. Incorporate Cheese: Stir in shredded provolone or mozzarella until melted and well combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  10. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Optionally, top with extra cheese, chopped parsley, and sliced green onions.

Notes

  • Serve with crusty bread for dipping or a refreshing side salad.
  • Variations: You can substitute different cheeses such as cheddar for a sharper flavor.
  • For a lighter option, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
