Philly Cheesesteak Soup

The creamiest, most comforting soup with all the goodness of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich!

It's crazy to me to think that when I met my husband, even up into the first few years of our marriage, I didn't really care for Philly cheesesteaks or soup. And now here we are 15 years later and I'm eating a combination of the two and loving it. This is a thicker, stick-to-your-ribs kinda soup and although I don't like eating them all the time, I definitely crave them from time to time. There's really not a whole lot that can be said about this soup - if you like Philly cheesesteak, you're gonna like this soup. It's so creamy and comforting!
