Main Ingredients
- 1 lb beef chuck roast (cubed)
- 1 cup fresh bell peppers (diced)
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become softened and slightly translucent.
- Brown Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cubed beef chuck roast. Sear the beef, stirring occasionally, until all sides are browned, which helps lock in the flavors.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and dried oregano, cooking for an additional minute until the mixture becomes fragrant, enhancing the soup’s depth of flavor.
- Deglaze and Add Broth: Pour in the low-sodium beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to lift any browned bits. These bits add richness and complexity to the soup base.
- Melt Cream Cheese: Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese gradually, stirring continuously until it melts completely and incorporates smoothly into the broth, creating a creamy texture.
- Incorporate Cheddar and Season: Mix in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted and well blended. Season the soup with salt and pepper to your preference. Serve hot for a comforting meal.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, you can simmer it a bit longer to reduce liquid.
- Substitute beef chuck roast with ribeye or sirloin for a more tender texture.
- Add sliced mushrooms or additional vegetables for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Use reduced-fat cream cheese and cheese to lower calories while maintaining creaminess.
