This Philly Cheesesteak Soup is so delicious, and it’s easy and fun to make! The provolone cheese melts over top of the bowl, making the soup a surprise underneath a creamy layer of cheese.

Philly cheesesteak sandwiches were one of the first ‘new’ foods that I learned how to make after moving out of my parents’ house. You know how when you first leave, you default to the same recipes your mom made? Plus lots of cereal, right? :)

I don’t think I had ever had a cheesesteak sandwich before, but Walmart sold these little ‘pucks’ of frozen meat labeled with directions on the back. It seemed easy enough, and it, along with crusty rolls from Costco, became common on our weekend lunch menu.

The sandwich, upgraded

Now I’m much more more adventurous in the kitchen, and I’ve discovered the power of cooking from scratch.  Gone are the pre-made rolls and the pucks of industrial meat. This soup is made out of local beef and has loads more vegetables than I ever included on our sandwiches ;)
