• 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 cups milk or half-and-half (for creaminess)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening)

For the Cheesy Toast:

• ½ cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
• Optional: sprinkle of garlic powder or parsley

🧰 Tools You’ll Need

• Large soup pot or Dutch oven
• Wooden spoon
• Small baking sheet (for toast)
• Sharp knife and cutting board

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Bacon

In a large soup pot, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of drippings in the pot.

Step 2: Sear the Steak

Add sliced steak to the pot and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove and set aside with the bacon.

Step 3: Sauté the Veggies

In the same pot, melt the butter. Add onions, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté until softened and lightly caramelized, about 6–8 minutes.

Step 4: Make the Base

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 5: Add the Dairy

Stir in milk or half-and-half and bring to a gentle simmer. Let the soup thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 6: Add the Steak and Cheese

Return the cooked steak and bacon to the pot. Stir in shredded provolone cheese until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7: Prepare the Cheesy Toast

Preheat the broiler. Butter the bread slices, top with cheese, and sprinkle with garlic powder. Broil until bubbly and golden, 2–3 minutes.

Step 8: Serve

Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each with a piece of cheesy toast — or serve it on the side for dipping!
