Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef steak, thinly sliced (I prefer ribeye for its marbling, but sirloin or flank steak also work well; ensure it’s sliced very thinly against the grain for tenderness)
• 1 medium onion, diced (yellow or white onion will provide a good base flavor)
• 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced (this adds a classic Philly touch and a touch of sweetness)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh garlic is key for depth of flavor)
• 6 cups beef broth (a good quality broth will make a significant difference)
• 1 cup heavy cream (this is what gives the soup its rich, creamy texture)
• 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded (mild provolone is ideal, as it melts beautifully and has a subtle flavor that won’t overpower the beef)
• 6 slices beef beef bacon, cooked and crum extractbled (crispy beef baconbacon adds a smoky, salty crunch)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste (season generously as needed)
• 6 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or a crusty Italian loaf work wonderfully for the cheesy toast)
• Butter, for toasting

Preparing the Base

Sautéing the Aromatics and Peppers

Begin extract by heating a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil (or a small pat of butter if you prefer) and let it get shimmering hot. Carefully add your thinly sliced beef steak to the hot pot in a single layer. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which will steam the meat instead of searing it. Sear the beef for about 1-2 minutes per side, just until browned. Remove the seared beef from the pot and set it aside on a plate. Don’t worry if it’s not cooked through; it will finish cooking in the soup.

Next, add your diced onion and thinly sliced green bell pepper to the same pot. If the pot seems dry, add another tablespoon of oil or butter. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and the onion is becoming translucent. This is where a lot of the foundational flavor for our soup is built. Once the vegetables are tender, add your minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.

Building the Soup

Simmering and Flavor Infusion

Now it’s time to bring in the liquid. Pour the 6 cups of beef broth into the pot with the sautéed vegetables and garlic. Scrape the bottom of the pot with your spoon to loosen any browned bits of beef or vegetables – these are packed with flavor! Bring the broth to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for at least 15-20 minutes. This simmering time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. It’s a good opportunity to prepare beef baconbeef bacon and cheesy toast.

After the simmering period, return the seared beef steak to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, or until the beef is tender and cooked through. You don’t want to overcook the beef at this stage, as it can become tough. Taste the broth and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Remember that beef baconheese and bacon will also add saltiness, so season cautiously at first and adjust as needed.

Adding Richness and Finishing Touches

Creamy Goodness and Cheesy Toasts

Once the beef is tender and the flavors are well-developed, it’s time to make the soup wonderfully creamy. Slowly stir in the 1 cup of heavy cream. Heat gently, but do not bring the soup to a rolling boil after adding the cream, as it could curdle. Stir until the cream is fully incorporated and the soup has a luscious, velvety texture.

Now, for the pièce de résistance – the cheese! Gradually add the shredded provolone cheese to the soup, stirring constantly until it has melted smoothly into the broth, creating a rich, cheesy base. You want a beautifully emulsified soup, not clumps of cheese. If the soup seems too thick at this point, you can add a splash more beef broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.

While the soup is finishing, prepare your cheesy toasts. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread, butter-side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Top with your provolone cheese (or a mix of provolone and a little mozzarella for extra meltiness). Cook until the bread is golden brown and toasted, and the cheese is melted and gooey. Cut these into dippable strips or serve them whole alongside your steaming bowls of soup.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make this soup ahead of time?

Yes, absolutely! This

One-Pot Philly CheesesBeef BaconSoup with Beef Beef Bacon and Cheesy Toast

is actually even better the next day as the flavors have more time to meld together. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. For the cheesy toast, it’s best to make it fresh just before serving to ensure it stays crispy.

What kind of beef is best for this soup?

For the best texture and flavor, I recommend using thinly sliced ribeye steak or sirloin steak. These cuts are tender and cook quickly, making them ideal for this soup. You can also use pre-sliced deli roast beef, but make sure it’s not too lean, as you want some good beefy flavor.

Can I make the cheesy toast separately in advance?

While it’s ideal to make the cheesy toast fresh for maximum crunch, you can prepare the bread with cheese and butter ahead of time and then toast it just before serving. This will save you a few minutes when you’re ready to eat. Just keep them covered at room temperature.
