This slow cooker cheesesteak soup has all the flavors of a classic cheesesteak…but in soup form! Tender pieces of beef slow cook with onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and a homemade seasonings blend. Provolone cheese is added at the end to provide a gooey, cheesy delight in each spoonful. Instructions to make this easy cheesesteak soup in the Instant Pot are also included.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds beef cut into 1-inch pieces or sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces or sliced
  • 1 onion, cut into 1-inch pieces or sliced
  • 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced (optional)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Slow Cooker

  1. Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker EXCEPT the provolone cheese. Stir to mix well.
  2. Cook high 2-3 hours, low 4-6.
  3. To serve, ladle the soup into a bowl. Cover the top with 1 slice of provolone cheese. If the soup is served hot, the cheese will melt within a few seconds.

Instant Pot

  1. Turn on the pressure cooker and select sauté. Once hot, add the oil and the beef to the pot. Cook 2-4 minutes or until beef is browned. Remove beef and set aside.
  2. Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. You may need to add more oil. Cook 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
  3. Pour in broth and deglaze the bottom of the pressure cooker by scraping all the bits off with a wooden spoon. Add the beef back to the pot along all the seasoning. Stir to mix well.
  4. Close lid and seal valve. Set high pressure for 9 minutes. When cooking time is complete, quick release the pressure. Open the lid & stir.
  5. To serve, ladle the soup into a bowl. Cover the top with 1 slice of provolone cheese. If the soup is served hot, the cheese will melt within a few seconds.

Notes

Tear the cheese up into pieces before adding on top of the cheese for an even melt.
