Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb shredded beef or sirloin steak
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup milk or heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup shredded provolone or American cheese
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- French bread or hoagie rolls for serving
Instructions
- Start by cooking the shredded beef or sirloin steak until browned. If using pre-cooked beef, chop into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth and add Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in milk or heavy cream, then gradually add shredded cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Add the cooked shredded beef into the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese, chopped parsley, or hot sauce. Pair with crusty French bread or hoagie rolls.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of cheeses such as provolone and mozzarella.
- You can substitute the beef with sautéed mushrooms, plant-based crumbles, or tofu for a vegetarian version.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove.
- For freezer storage, transfer to freezer-safe containers and store up to 2 months.
