This one pot Philly Cheese Steak Soup is going to be a new family favorite. Take that classic sandwich and serve it up as a rich and creamy soup in a bread bowl. Look at all of that melty cheese!
This Philly Cheese Steak Soup is one of those recipes, that once we ate it, we were already planning it’s next appearance on our menu. I make (and eat!) a lot of soup. Like a lot, a lot of soup. My love for it has definitely transferred over to my kids, too. So, when I tell you that my oldest son (who’s eaten my food the longest!) Told me that this soup is one of my top 3 ever made? I knew we had a keeper!
^LOVE IT?? PIN IT!! ^

How about a little back story? The story of this amazing steak, actually dates back to the 1980’s, right here in Nebraska. In the early 80’s, Gary, the founder, opened a Philly Cheese Steak restaurant, called the Chartoose Caboose. Being a Nebraska native, (and a child of the 80’s!! ) I remember this well.
Throughout the 80’s, franchises were in 5 states, and Gary developed a method of slicing and portioning a quick release Philly Steak Meat product, known as the Steak-EZE* Puck. Gary knows he has a good thing. He sells his franchise, and invests his time processing and selling his legendary Quick Release Puck to the food service industry across Canada, United States, and Mexico, acquiring a patent in 1992. Even after retiring in 1998, Gary still had the drive to share his Philly Cheese Steaks with us all. In 2002, Gary started a place you may have heard of? PepperJax Grill! During his 14 years of owning Pepperjax, Gary started Glenn Valley Foods, the parent company of Gary’s QuickSteak.
That brings us to present and me getting the chance to tell you all about this delicious tasting steak, that has become a short cut in so many recipes here in my kitchen!
THREE other recipes, right here on my blog, that are made quicker with Gary’s QuickSteak:
When I was deciding what to create, my mind was running wild with ideas! But since fall will soon be upon us, my mind kept turning to comfort food. For me, soup = comfort food.
Sure, you can serve this up in a regular bowl, with some bread along the side for mopping up all of the deliciousness, or you can go all out and serve it up in a bread bowl!
I am no expert at Keto, but I know a lot of people follow the Ketosis way of eating, I feel like this recipe would be easily adaptable for that lifestyle, minus the bread, of course.
Our steak soup recipe starts with fresh bell peppers, white mushrooms, onion, garlic and Gary’s QuickSteak.
In your Dutch oven, melt some butter over medium high heat. Add in peppers, onions, garlic and mushrooms. Sauté for 4 minutes.
Add in frozen quick steaks + WOW seasoning packets. Continue cooking for another 4 minutes.
Add in Bay leaves, beef stock and bouillon cubes. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Pepper to taste. Stir in a mixture of corn starch and water mixture. Soup will begin to thicken. Stir in cheese, until incorporated. Add in cream.
Make sure to have plenty of extra provolone for topping the soup bowls.
I purchased my bread bowls at my HyVee Supermarket bakery. But If you’d like to make your own, here is a fantastic recipe!

This soup looks so cheesy and delicious! I love that it’s so easy to make also. A must for the fall season.
I agree!! A must make indeed!!
I never would have thought to turn a cheesesteak into a soup!!! The steak and seasoning really makes this so easy and hearty! My family is going to love this!!!
Hope you try it!!
Wow, I can see why this soup went straight to your son’s favorite recipe list! That seasoning mix with Gary’s QuickSteak sure is convenient to have all measured out. Adding this to my meal plan this week!
Talk about comfort food! I can’t wait to dive head first into this soup!!
You had me at philly cheese steak! (it is my weakness!) I got find these steaks here, this recipe sounds AMAZING!
We don’t have this brand of steak here. Can you help with an alternative to the seasonings used in the wow packets?
I looked up the ingredients and it has a few then says “and secret spices” – I know that you can just order the seasoning if you want (the meat, too) If you follow the link in the post to “Buy Nebraska” you can get the seasoning there. It’s really good – not just on steak. It’s awesome on popcorn, eggs, all other meats, too.
I had to order the seasoning, about how much is in the packet? thanks
I contacted the company when you inquired and they never got back to me. I am sorry!! I hope you had more luck than I did.
Where do you get 2 packages Gary’s QuickSteak + WOW seasoning packets; or what else can you use. instead. Thanks.
Depending on where you live, you can get it in the store. There are also ways to order it online. It’s really good! The meat is REALLY thin-sliced beef, and the spice packet is their own blend of spices.
What is Gary’s QuickSteak and WOW seasoning and where can I buy it?? I would love to make this recipe, but how good will it taste if I do not but this seasoning in??
Depending on where you live, you can get it in the store. There are also ways to order it online. It’s really good! The meat is REALLY thin-sliced beef, and the spice packet is their own blend of spices. There is order information as well as store locations here in this post.
It would be nice to know when to remove the bay leaves as that is not in your recipe instructions.
No one has ever pointed that out to me before. I guess we all make typos sometimes, right?
The rule of thumb with bay leaves is always to remove them before you serve a dish. Unless there was a case where something was pureed of course – then you would remove them before pureeing.
