Steakhouse Soup is exactly what the name implies. Beef, Potatoes, Mushrooms….what could be better?
This dish may take some time to make (you want that beef to get tender) but it will be worthwhile. Stew beef is an inexpensive cut of meat so you want it to simmer in the broth for the full hour plus but doing it will give you a tender beef. The mushrooms also give the soup a ‘meatiness’ and add to the flavor. The tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce provides a taste of heartiness.
If you want a thicker consistency to this soup, just add the cornstarch slurry at the end of cooking. Make sure you allow it to cook for at least a minute to cook out the cornstarch and give the soup a chance to thicken.
Serve Steakhouse Soup with a hearty slice of bread and this meal will be complete.
