Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 3 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Base:

  1. Cook the Ground Beef:
    • In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic:
    • In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened (about 3-4 minutes).

Build the Soup:

  1. Cook the Potatoes:
    • Add the diced potatoes, smoked paprika, thyme (if using), salt, and pepper to the pot. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  2. Make it Creamy:
    • In a small bowl, whisk the flour with 1/4 cup of the milk until smooth. Stir this mixture into the pot. Add the remaining milk and heavy cream, stirring well to combine.
  3. Add Cheese and Beef:
    • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add the cooked ground beef back into the soup and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Serve:

  1. Garnish and Enjoy:
    • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

  • For added veggies, toss in diced carrots, celery, or corn with the potatoes.
  • If the soup is too thick, add a splash of broth or milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
