Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
