One-Pot Philly Cheesesteak Soup

One-Pot Philly Cheesesteak Soup with Ground Beef and Cheesy Toast 🧀

This hearty and satisfying soup transforms the flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak into a comforting bowl of goodness, now with ground beef replacing the bacon for extra meaty richness.


Ingredients

For the Soup:

  • 1 pound (450 grams) thinly sliced sirloin steak or ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups (1 liter) beef stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Cheesy Toast:

  • 4 slices of bread
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Meat

  1. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
  2. If using ground beef, cook it until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon. For thinly sliced sirloin steak, sear the slices for 3-4 minutes, until browned. Remove the meat from the pan and set it aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  1. In the same pan, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Build the Soup Base

  1. Return the cooked beef to the pot with the sautéed vegetables.
  2. Stir in the beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  3. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4: Add the Cream and Cheese

  1. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, provolone, and cheddar cheeses. Stir until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
  2. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 5: Prepare the Cheesy Toast

  1. Preheat the broiler.
  2. Butter the bread slices and sprinkle them with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  3. Broil the bread for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 6: Serve

  1. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with cheesy toast on the side or broken into pieces for dipping.
  2. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh parsley or chives.
