Philly Cheesesteak Soup Recipe
This is one of my very favorite soups that Hubby makes. Hubby makes a lot of soups. All different kinds. And he gives them away to friends and relatives. I actually grimace when he considers giving away this Philly Cheesesteak Soup, and I try and hide the frozen containers so they are not easily found.
Yeah, I am selfish, but this is one incredible soup.
Philly Cheesesteak Soup Recipe Notes:
● Hubby’s words of warning: make sure your roast beef is thin. In his words, “this is not beef barley, you want the roast beef to be as thin as possible.”
● He also recommends you combine the flour well. He said it is very important you cook off the taste of the flour, and are left with the roux.
● For the provolone we usually just get it sliced from the deli or prepackaged from the dairy. If for some reason you have a hunk of provolone, you may want to chunk it so it melts faster.
● This Philly Cheesesteak Soup freezes beautifully, well, when you have leftovers.
Philly Cheesesteak Soup Recipe Ingredients:
● 1 lb Roast Beef, sliced thin
● ¾ cup Butter
● ½ Green Pepper, diced
● ½ Red Pepper, diced
● 1 Yellow (or Sweet) Onion, diced
● 8 oz Fresh Mushrooms, diced
● 2/3 cups Flour
● 6 cups Milk
● 1½ cups Low Sodium Beef Broth
● 1 tsp Salt
● 1 tsp Pepper
● 8 oz Provolone Cheese
Philly Cheesesteak Soup Mise en Place:
● Measuring Cup
● Measuring Spoons
● Cutting Board
● Knife
● Large Pot
● Large Spoon
Philly Cheesesteak Soup Recipe Directions:
1. Slice one pound of thin roast beef into 1″ strips, set aside.
2. Melt ¾ cup butter in a large sauce-pot.
3. Add ½ diced green pepper, ½ diced red pepper, one diced yellow onion, and eight ounces of diced mushrooms to the melted butter; sauté until tender.
4. Add 2/3 of a cup of flour to make a roux. Cook the flour for at least 5 minutes; stirring constantly (this will get the flour taste out of your roux).
5. Slowly add six cups of milk, whisking to combine.
6. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat; stirring constantly until soup thickens.
7. Add 1½ cups of low-sodium beef broth, one teaspoon of salt, and one teaspoon of pepper.
8. Slowly stir in eight ounces provolone; stir until it is melted into the soup.
9. Remove your soup from the heat, and add in the roast beef strips; stir.
10. Serve while hot; do not overcook as it can make the roast beef tough.
11. Note: the Philly Cheesesteak Soup freezes extremely well. Allow frozen soup to defrost in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
