Ingredients
- 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon flour (optional, for thickening)
Feel free to substitute the ribeye with another cut like sirloin if you prefer, and for a lighter version, you can use milk instead of heavy cream. The provolone can be swapped with mozzarella or cheddar, depending on your taste.
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the steak and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Return the steak to the pot, then pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, whisk the flour with a bit of water to form a slurry, and stir it into the soup. Allow it to simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, stir in the heavy cream, and slowly add the shredded provolone cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup gently heat through, being careful not to boil it.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
I remember Nonna Rosa standing by the stove, tasting and tweaking until the flavors were just right. Don’t rush this process—let the aroma fill your kitchen and savor the experience.
