I can’t be the only person that has considered whether or not a bread bowl technically counts as a sandwich. What is a sandwich if not fillings between bread? Okay, maybe it is a bit of a stretch, but this Philly cheesesteak variation may pull you slightly closer to the truth. This easy weeknight soup takes all of the classic parts of a Philly cheesesteak—steak, onions, cheese, and peppers—and combines them into one incredibly cozy and hearty bowl.
While I am opting for provolone cheese here, another cheese such as cheddar or American could be substituted in, though I may suggest skipping the Cheez Whiz this time around. Similarly, while I am using both red and green bell pepper, I know some prefer their cheesesteaks without peppers at all, so feel free to modify the ingredients the same way you would in the classic sandwich.

Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp.
vegetable oil, divided
- 2/3 lb.
chuck roast, cut into cubes
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
- 1
onion, chopped
- 1
red bell pepper, chopped
- 1
green bell Pepper, chopped
- 2
cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp.
all-purpose flour
- 3 cups
low-sodium beef broth
- 2 Tbsp.
heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups
shredded provolone, divided
- 2
sourdough boules, for serving
- 1 Tbsp.

Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to broil and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large pot over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add steak and season with salt and pepper. Sear on all sides until meat is deeply golden and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove meat and set aside.
- Step 2Add remaining oil to pot and add in onions and peppers. Cook until onions are partially translucent and peppers have softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, then season with salt and pepper and sprinkle all over with flour. Cook 2 minutes, until flour turns slightly golden.
- Step 3Add in broth, cream, and 1/2 cup provolone. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook 10 minutes to allow soup to thicken slightly and flavors to meld.
- Step 4Meanwhile, cut the top off breads and scoop out the inside bread to create a bowl. Cube bread removed from top of loaf. Place on a prepared baking sheet.
- Step 5When soup is thickened, stir in beef and ladle into bread bowls. Top with cubed bread and remaining cheese and broil until cheese is melty and golden.
- Step 6Garnish with parsley before serving.
