One-Pot Philly Cheesesteak Soup Delight

All the rich, cheesy, and savory flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak in a warm, comforting soup! Made in one pot for easy cleanup and maximum flavor, this dish is perfect for chilly nights or hearty lunches. We’ve swapped out the bacon for a halal-friendly twist using beef bacon or smoked turkey strips.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 300g (10 oz) thinly sliced beef steak (like ribeye or sirloin)
• 4 cups beef broth (check for halal certification)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (halal-certified brand)
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1½ cups heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup cream cheese
• 1 cup cooked halal beef bacon or smoked turkey strips, chopped
• Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
• Toasted baguette slices or bread rolls (optional, for serving)

Directions:

1. Sauté Aromatics:
   In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the onions and both bell peppers until soft (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
2. Cook the Beef:
   Add sliced beef steak to the pot and cook until browned. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Simmer the Broth:
   Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add the Creaminess:
   Stir in heavy cream, cream cheese, and shredded cheeses. Let everything melt and blend together into a creamy soup, stirring occasionally (about 5–7 minutes).
5. Add Halal Bacon Alternative:
   Stir in the chopped cooked beef bacon or smoked turkey strips. Let simmer for an additional 5 minutes to deepen the flavor.
6. Serve:
   Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve with toasted bread if desired.
