plaza soup has long been a staple soup recipe my family makes every year, however, the classic version relies on flour & a few questionable ingredients I’ve always wanted to upgrade!

after digging a little deeper, I learned this soup actually originated quite close to home for me in kansas city! it was originally served at the plaza III steakhouse on the KC plaza (now closed)… so of course, I had to recreate it erica-style!

this is my better-for-you take: tender beef stew meat, arrowroot starch instead of flour, loads of veggies, & a deeply savory, flavor-forward broth built with tamari, miso, balsamic, & steak seasoning. it’s rich, hearty, cozy, and still very much gives steakhouse soup energy — just cleaner & more nourishing.
