How to Make One-Pot Philly Cheesesteak Soup
Step 1: Cook the Bacon (Optional)
🍳 In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy.
🔹 Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pot, crumble it, and set it aside for later.
Step 2: Cook the Beef and Vegetables
🍖 Add the ground beef (or sliced steak) to the same pot and cook over medium-high heat until browned.
🧅 Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
Step 3: Add the Broth & Seasoning
🥄 Stir in the beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
🌿 Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, cooking for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
🧀 Gradually add the provolone and cheddar cheese, stirring until the soup becomes creamy and the cheese is melted.
Step 5: Make the Cheesy Toast
🔥 While the soup simmers, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
🍞 Butter the bread slices on both sides and top with a mix of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
🧀 Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.

🥓 Top with the crumbled bacon (if using) and a slice of cheesy toast on the side for dipping.
