Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What kind of steak is best for this soup?
A: Ribeye or sirloin are excellent choices. Look for thinly sliced steak to ensure it cooks quickly and becomes tender.

A: Absolutely! While provolone and mozzarella are classic choices, you can experiment with other cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack.
Q: Can I make this soup ahead of time?

A: Definitely! Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the soup for a little kick.
