Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) sliced roast beef, chopped
- 1 (8 ounce) (226 grams) package provolone cheese, diced
- 6 cups (1.4 liters) milk
- 1 (10.5 ounce) (298 grams) can beef consommé
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 (8 ounce) (226 grams) package sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Thickening Agents:
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup (80 grams) all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter over medium heat until it becomes frothy and golden.
- Introduce diced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the melted butter, sautéing for approximately 5 minutes until vegetables soften and release their aromatic essence.
- Sprinkle flour into the vegetable mixture, continuously stirring to create a golden roux that will help thicken the soup, cooking for about 5 minutes.
- Gradually whisk milk into the roux, allowing the mixture to simmer and develop a smooth, creamy consistency while stirring frequently, which should take around 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and incorporate beef consomme, seasoning with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor profile.
- Gently fold diced provolone cheese into the simmering liquid, stirring until completely melted and creating a rich, velvety texture, which takes 3-5 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat and fold in chopped roast beef, ensuring even distribution throughout the soup and allowing the meat to warm through without overcooking.
Notes
- Enhance vegetable tenderness by cutting them into uniform, small pieces for even cooking and better texture.
- Prevent flour from burning by continuously stirring and maintaining medium heat during the roux-making process.
- Avoid lumpy soup by gradually whisking milk and ensuring smooth incorporation with the flour mixture.
- Customize protein options by substituting roast beef with shredded chicken, pulled pork, or plant-based alternatives for dietary preferences.
