How to return site_url() without https://

Question

I am retrieving the site URL and creating a shortcode to display it. However when i return the site URL as expected it contains the full string including https://

How can i return the site url without the https:// part? So instead of https://siteurl.com it would just say siteurl.com

add_action( 'init', function() {
    add_shortcode( 'site_url', function( $atts = null, $content = null ) {
        return site_url();
    } );

} );

$site_url = site_url();
$url = preg_replace("(^https?://)", "", $site_url );
return $url;
