Storage and Reheating

If you find yourself with leftovers, Philly Cheesesteak Soup stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To maintain the best flavor and texture, it's recommended to reheat the soup gently on the stovetop over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure even warming and prevent the cheese from clumping together.

For longer storage, you can freeze the soup for up to three months. Just be sure to let it cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container. When you're ready to enjoy it again, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as mentioned.

Serving Suggestions

To enhance your dining experience, consider serving Philly Cheesesteak Soup with a side of garlic bread or a fresh garden salad. The garlic bread provides a delightful crunch that complements the creamy soup, while the salad adds a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors.

For a fun twist, you can also serve the soup in bread bowls. Hollow out small round loaves of bread, fill them with the soup, and top with additional cheese before broiling until bubbly. This not only makes for an impressive presentation but also allows guests to enjoy the bread along with their soup.
