Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add steak cubes, season with salt and pepper, and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add remaining olive oil, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add diced potatoes, thyme, paprika, and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 12–15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
In a separate small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to make a roux and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in cream until smooth and slightly thickened.
Stir the cream mixture into the soup base. Add seared steak back to the pot and simmer gently for 5 minutes to combine flavors.
If desired, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with green onions, bacon, or parsley.

Notes

Use leftover grilled steak or roast for extra flavor and convenience.
To lighten it up, substitute half of the cream with milk or unsweetened almond milk.
Add mushrooms or corn for extra texture and heartiness.
Serve with crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
