A Comforting Classic Reimagined

Philly cheesesteak soup brings the beloved flavors of the iconic sandwich into a delightful bowl of warmth. This recipe takes the classic elements—tender ribeye steak, sautéed vegetables, and creamy cheese—and transforms them into a comforting soup that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a gathering or simply enjoying a quiet night in, this soup is sure to impress.

The beauty of this soup lies in its versatility. You can easily adjust the ingredients to suit your family's preferences. Swap in different vegetables or use a different cut of beef if desired. The creamy broth and melted provolone provide a satisfying base that complements a variety of flavors.

Perfect for Any Time of Year

While this soup is especially comforting during the colder months, it can be enjoyed year-round. Its hearty nature makes it an excellent choice for a cozy family dinner or a casual gathering with friends. Serve it with a crusty baguette or your favorite side salad for a complete meal that everyone will love.

Additionally, this soup is a great make-ahead option. You can prepare it in advance and store it in the refrigerator for a few days. Simply reheat and serve, making it a convenient option for busy weeknights or unexpected guests.

Customize Your Cheesesteak Experience

One of the best aspects of making Philly cheesesteak soup is the opportunity to customize it to your taste. Consider adding jalapeños for a spicy kick, or experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar if provolone isn't your favorite. You can also throw in some spinach or kale for an extra nutritional boost, making this soup both delicious and healthy.

Don't forget the toppings! Garnishing your soup with fresh herbs like parsley or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper can elevate the dish even further. Personal touches can turn this classic recipe into your own unique creation.

Instructions

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, green bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Cook the Steak

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

Add Broth and Cream

Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Let simmer for 10 minutes.

Serve with Cheese

Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a slice of provolone cheese. Allow the cheese to melt before enjoying.

Storage and Reheating Tips

To store leftovers, let the soup cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you're looking to freeze your soup, consider omitting the cream until you reheat it, as dairy can sometimes alter the texture after freezing.

When you're ready to enjoy the leftovers, simply reheat the soup on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally. If it seems too thick, add a splash of beef broth or water to achieve your desired consistency. Add a fresh slice of provolone cheese on top just before serving for that melted, gooey finish.

Serving Suggestions

Philly cheesesteak soup pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. For a traditional touch, serve it alongside a fresh hoagie roll or a toasted baguette, perfect for dipping into the creamy broth. A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette can also complement the rich flavors of the soup, offering a refreshing balance.

If you're in the mood for a heartier meal, consider adding some baked potato wedges or garlic bread. These sides will not only enhance the dining experience but also provide that satisfying crunch that contrasts nicely with the smooth soup.
