Ingredients
- 8 slices baguette
- ⅓ cup butter
- 1 large onion diced
- 3 ribs celery sliced
- 1 ½ cups sliced mushrooms
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 dashes hot sauce such as tabasco
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup half and half or light cream
- 8 ounces Provolone cheese shredded, divided
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 pound top round steak thinly sliced, see note below
Instructions
- Place steak in the freezer (for about 15 minutes before slicing).
- Top each baguette slice with about 1 tablespoon of provolone cheese. Broil until bubbly and set aside.
- Cook onion, celery and mushrooms in butter until tender. Add flour and cook 1 to 2 minutes
- Stir in beef broth a little at a time stirring until smooth after each addition. Add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and green peppers. Simmer until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Add cream and simmer an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheeses until melted.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice steak. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned.
- Place beef in the bottom of each bowl and top with hot soup. Serve with cheese toasts.

Notes
- To use leftover roast beef, cut into cubes and add with green peppers to heat through.
- Ground beef can be used in place of steak.
- Place your steak in the freezer for 15 minutes before cutting. A partially frozen steak is much easier to slice thinly.
- Soup can be placed into bowls, topped with cheese and broiled similar to a French Onion Soup.
