Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb beef, thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Dairy

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded provolone cheese

Seasonings and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and chopped green and red bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized, enhancing their sweetness.
  2. Add the Garlic and Beef: Stir in the minced garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the thinly sliced beef to the pot and cook for 6 minutes, breaking up any clumps, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
  3. Incorporate the Broth and Seasonings: Pour in 4 cups of beef broth and add 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Stir in the Cream and Cream Cheese: Lower the heat to low and add 1 cup heavy cream and 8 ounces softened cream cheese. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts completely into a rich, creamy consistency.
  5. Add the Cheese: Stir in 2 cups shredded provolone cheese until melted and smooth. Add more cheese if you prefer a cheesier flavor.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish optionally with extra cheese or fresh herbs. Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a ground beef variation, substitute sliced steak with 1 lb ground beef.
  • Vegetarian version: replace beef with mushrooms or plant-based meat alternatives for similar texture.
  • To make dairy-free, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream and dairy-free cream cheese and cheese substitutes.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste, considering the saltiness of the broth and cheeses.
  • Serve with crusty bread for dipping to complement the creamy soup.
