If you like Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches, then you're going to love this soup recipe. It has all the flavors of the classic Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich, but in soup form. Several versions of this recipe suggest serving this soup in hollowed out round loaves of sourdough bread, and saving the carved out bread to dip in the soup. The next time I make this soup, I'd like to try that (maybe even toasting the bread chunks to crisp them first).
