This creamy Philly Cheesesteak Soup is inspired by the delicious Philly cheesesteak sandwich. An insanely delicious creamy soup using roast beef, peppers, mushrooms and plenty of cheese!
6cups(1 ½ litres) beef broth or chicken broth (preferably homemade)
1lb(450g) roast beef, sliced
1cup(120g) full fat cream cheeseor heavy cream
1 ½cups(170g) freshly grated cheddar cheese or provolone cheese
Chopped parsley, to garnish
Salt and pepper to season, to taste
Instructions
Heat the butter in a large pot, over medium heat. Add the onions, peppers, mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5-10 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
Stir in the salt and pepper – if you are using canned stock / broth you then leave the salt out.
Add the broth and sliced beef. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Put the cream cheese in a measuring jug and add a ladleful of the broth from the pot. Use an immersion blender to combine.
Stir the cream cheese into the soup together with the grated cheese, stirring until cheese melts.
Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Divide into warm bowls and garnish with the chopped parsley and some extra grated cheese if you like. Serve with a slice of my keto bread.

Notes
Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak SoupCooking this Philly cheese steak soup in your slow cooker is super easy too. Sauté the vegetables – if your Crock Pot allows for searing then one pot less to wash up! – and add to your slow cooker. Add the rest of the ingredients apart from the cream and cheese and cook on low for 6 hours. Blend the cream cheese with a little of the soup and stir into the soup together with the cheese before serving.TIPS AND VARIATIONS
Don’t have any leftover roast beef? You can use sliced deli meat or replace with chicken / turkey.
Hate green peppers? Me too, normally, but I love them in this soup. If you really dislike them, replace them with yellow bell peppers.
Want a dairy free soup? Replace the cream cheese with full fat coconut cream and the butter with coconut oil.
