• Creamy Texture: The creamy base, enhanced with provolone cheese, makes every spoonful deliciously smooth.
• Cheesy Toast: Toasted French bread smothered in butter and cheese takes this soup to the next level.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb thinly sliced beef (such as sirloin or ribeye)
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups beef broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• French bread, sliced
• Butter, for toasting

Directions:

Step 1: Cook the Beef

1. Brown the beef: In a large pot, cook the thinly sliced beef over medium-high heat until it is browned. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Once browned, remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

2. Cook the vegetables: In the same pot, add the thinly sliced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3: Make the Soup

3. Add the beef back: Return the cooked beef to the pot with the vegetables.
4. Add the broth and simmer: Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a simmer. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
5. Add cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth.
6. Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Make the Cheesy Toast

7. Toast the bread: In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the French bread slices and toast them until golden brown and crispy.
8. Add cheese: Once toasted, sprinkle shredded provolone cheese over the top of each bread slice. Let the cheese melt slightly before serving.

Step 5: Serve

9. Serve the hot Philly Cheesesteak Soup with the cheesy toast on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
