Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Vegetables

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Cheese

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside to prevent overcooking.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: In the same pot, add chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and are fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Simmer the soup: Return the browned beef to the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in 4 cups of beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook gently for 15 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  4. Add cream and cheese: Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of shredded provolone cheese. Continue cooking the soup over low heat, stirring frequently, until the cheese has melted completely and the soup is heated through without boiling.
  5. Season and serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as desired. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced beef sirloin for the best texture and quick cooking.
  • Sauté vegetables until tender to enhance their sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not boil the soup after adding cream and cheese to avoid curdling.
  • For a thicker soup, you can blend a portion of the soup before adding the cream.
  • Feel free to substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or fontina for a different flavor profile.
