Ingredients Galore: What You’ll Need If you’re cooking up this cheesy delight, here’s what to grab from your local Wisconsin food market: 1 pound of sliced roast beef (because no cheesesteak goes without its meaty friend) 1 large sweet onion—like your sweet neighbor who always brings dessert 8 ounces of mushrooms—because a party without fun guys is just boring 2 green bell peppers 3 cloves of garlic (is there any other way to say I love you?) ¼ cup of butter—our favorite villain in many a recipe ¼ cup of flour 6 cups beef stock (or broth if you're feelin’ fancy) 2 cups shredded provolone cheese—like the icing on the cake, but cheesy! 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce ½ cup heavy cream, because life’s too short for fat-free And season to taste! We all know salt makes everything better—except for those stubborn lingering New Year’s resolutions, they might need a little more effort! 😄 A Step-By-Step Guide that’s Easy as Pie Ready? Let’s cook! Start by getting your pot hot with a splash of oil like a something on a summer grill. Sear that roast beef until it’s nice and brown, then set aside like a kid who's had too many pieces of candy. Next, toss in the veggies and sauté until they all play nice and add some color to their otherwise drab existence. Now don’t you dare skip the garlic—add it to the party for that flavorful kick. Reduce the heat, melt your butter, and whisk some flour into the mix until it’s a beautiful roux, almost like you could wear it. Gradually add your beef stock while whisking because no one wants clumps in their soup! Then, it’s cheese-o'clock! Melt in handfuls of that provolone until it’s a glorious cheesy goodness. Finally, add your beef, veggies, and a dash of cream, giving it a final simmering embrace before it’s ready for service! Dive right in, because cooling it down is for sissies. Just don’t burn your tongue! No cheese worth having is served cool! Savor the Flavors: What Makes This Soup Special? This hearty soup combines the best of both worlds: the creamy comfort of soup and the unmistakable flavor of a cheesesteak.
