Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Protein:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) sliced roast beef, chopped
- 1 (8 ounce) package provolone cheese, diced
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
Liquids, Dairy, and Seasonings:
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup (80 grams) all-purpose flour
- 6 cups (1.4 liters) milk
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can beef consomme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat butter in a large pot over medium temperature until melted and slightly bubbling.
- Sauté chopped onions, bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms, stirring frequently until vegetables soften and become translucent, approximately 4-6 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, continuously stirring to create a golden roux that coats the ingredients evenly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Slowly pour milk into the pot, whisking constantly to prevent lumps and create a smooth base, allowing the mixture to simmer gently.
- Continue stirring until the soup reaches a thick, creamy consistency, around 4-5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and incorporate beef consomme, seasoning with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Gradually add diced provolone cheese, stirring until completely melted and integrated into the soup, creating a rich and creamy texture.
- Remove pot from heat and fold in chopped roast beef, ensuring even distribution throughout the soup.
- Let the soup rest for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld together before serving hot.
Notes
- Customize the soup’s thickness by adjusting milk quantity, adding more for a creamier texture or less for a heartier consistency.
- Swap roast beef with leftover steak, rotisserie chicken, or plant-based protein for versatile meal options.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Enhance flavor depth by sautéing vegetables in beef drippings or adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce for umami richness.
