Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef * cut into bite-size pieces

Instructions

  • Season beef with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

  • Add the onion and garlic to the same pot. Cook until just soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in the beef bone broth and raise the heat to high to bring to a boil.

  • Lower the heat back to medium and add the heavy cream and cooked beef.
  • Cook an additional 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Serve hot, topped with green onions and extra cheese, if desired.

Notes

Tips & Techniques for the Best Steak and Cauliflower Soup

  • It is strongly recommended to shred the cheese from a block rather than using pre-shredded bagged cheese. The bagged cheese contains a starch which will increase the total carbohydrates as well as prevent the cheese from melting as nicely.
  • Use the most tender cut of beef you can find. Top round steak and chuck roast are great options.
  • Store leftover soup in individual air-tight containers in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days.

FAQ's

  • What kind of steak is best to use in soup? Tender cuts of steak are best for this soup. I prefer to use either top round steak or a chuck roast.
  • Can you substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream? Yes, but your soup may be a little less thick.
