Description
Creamy Philly Cheese Steak Soup brings the iconic flavors of the Philly sandwich into a warm, comforting bowl. Tender steak, sautéed peppers and onions, and a rich, cheesy broth make this a soul-satisfying dish that’s perfect for cozy nights or hearty family dinners.
Ingredients
1 pound ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large green bell pepper, diced
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
4 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
1 cup heavy cream
6 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
1 cup provolone or mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the steak slices until browned and just cooked through. Remove from pot and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add onions and bell peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes or until soft.
3. Add garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for another 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Add cream cheese, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
6. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream.
7. Return cooked steak to the pot and let it simmer for another 5–10 minutes.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Just before serving, stir in shredded cheese and let it melt into the soup.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or hoagie rolls.
Notes
For maximum flavor, use ribeye steak—it creates a richer base due to its marbling.
If using pre-shredded cheese, make sure it doesn’t have anti-caking agents, which may affect melting.
Add a splash of broth or cream when reheating to maintain the soup’s silky texture.
