Ingredients

Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 lb ribeye or sirloin beef, thinly sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Cheesy Toast Ingredients

  • 4 slices sturdy, crusty bread (such as baguette, sourdough, or Italian bread)
  • Butter, for spreading
  • 1 cup shredded provolone or cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 1–2 tablespoons of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sliced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic. Cook gently until onions are soft and peppers begin to caramelize, releasing their natural sweetness, building the base flavor of the soup.
  2. Cook the Beef: Add the thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin to the pot. Stir frequently until the beef is browned and just cooked through, ensuring tender meat that blends perfectly with the soup flavors.
  3. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in 4 cups of beef broth and bring the soup to a simmer. Allow it to cook gently for 10 to 15 minutes so all flavors meld together beautifully.
  4. Stir in Cream and Cheese: Lower the heat and slowly stir in 1 cup of heavy cream or half-and-half. Gradually add shredded provolone or cheddar cheese bit by bit, stirring constantly until melted and the soup turns thick and luxuriously creamy.
  5. Prepare the Cheesy Toast: Butter each slice of crusty bread generously. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the buttered side. Toast under a broiler or in a hot pan until the cheese bubbles and turns golden brown, creating a crispy, melty accompaniment.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve alongside the cheesy toast. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired, and enjoy this comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced beef for quick cooking and tenderness.
  • Don’t rush the vegetable sauté to fully caramelize onions and peppers for maximum flavor depth.
  • Choose a high-quality, well-seasoned beef broth for authentic taste.
  • Grate your own cheese to avoid anti-caking agents and ensure better meltiness.
  • Toast cheesy bread last and serve immediately to maintain crispiness.
