15 -
1 1/2 cups provolone cheese, shredded
→ Optional Garnishes
16 -
Extra shredded provolone
17 -
Chopped fresh parsley
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Scoop the soup into bowls, then sprinkle with parsley and more provolone if you want. Serve right away while it's hot.
02 -
Once you turn off the heat, toss in the shredded cheese and stir until it melts into the soup nice and smooth.
03 -
Get the soup back up to a boil, pour that slurry in, then keep boiling and stirring for about 3 minutes until it thickens up.
04 -
Stir water and cornstarch in a small bowl until totally mixed, no lumps left.
05 -
Chuck in salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire. Let the mix boil, then drop the heat down, and let it gently bubble uncovered for 10 minutes, giving it a stir every now and then.
06 -
Stir in beef broth bit by bit, then pour in half and half and mix so it all comes together.
07 -
Shake over the flour and mix well, cooking about 3 minutes so you don't get that raw flour taste.
08 -
Toss in roast beef and garlic, give it a stir, and cook for a couple minutes until you catch the smell of the garlic.
09 -
Start by melting the butter in your big pot on medium. Drop in the onions, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, till your onions look soft and see-through.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Want bigger flavor? Go with roast beef you slice up yourself instead of the stuff from a package.
02 -
Don't add the cheese when your soup is boiling or it'll get stringy and clumpy.
