Ingredients
For the Soup:

- 1 pound ground beef (or thinly sliced ribeye steak, diced)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
For the Bacon and Cheesy Toast:
- 4 slices of crusty bread (e.g., sourdough or baguette)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef and Vegetables
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef (or steak) and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté onions, bell pepper, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Soup Base
- Return the cooked beef to the pot and stir in Worcestershire sauce.
- Add beef broth, bringing it to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream and shredded provolone cheese. Mix until the cheese melts and the soup becomes creamy. If a thicker consistency is desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of flour and simmer until thickened.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheesy Toast
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Sprinkle cheddar cheese and bacon crumbles on top. Place on a baking sheet and bake until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden.
Step 4: Serve
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crispy bacon bits. Serve with cheesy toast on the side or as a topping.
