Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 pound beef steak (or top round, thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 medium carrot (chopped)
- 2 stalks celery (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- â…“ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1 cube beef bouillon (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces white cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 8 ounces provolone cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- ½ baguette (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced green bell pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the thinly sliced beef steak to the pot. Cook until browned, stirring frequently.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped onion, chopped carrot, chopped celery, and minced garlic. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Sprinkle in the flour, and stir to coat the meat and vegetables. Cook for another minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Pour in the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Add the beef broth and the optional beef bouillon cube. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream, white cheddar cheese, and provolone cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
- For the croutons, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss the baguette cubes with ¼ cup olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until crispy.
- Serve the soup hot, topped with fresh parsley and croutons.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a combination of beef and chicken broth. Increase hot sauce for more spice.
