🧅 Ingredients
1 lb (450g) ground beef
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 carrots, diced
3 cups chicken or beef broth
1 cup milk or cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ tsp paprika (optional)
Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
🍳 Instructions
Cook the beef
In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Sauté the veggies
In the same pot, melt butter and add onion, garlic, and carrots. Cook until softened (about 4–5 minutes).
Add flour
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a light roux. This helps thicken the soup later.
Add broth and potatoes
Pour in the broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender (about 15 minutes).
Add beef and milk
Return cooked beef to the pot, stir, and slowly add milk or cream. Let simmer on low heat — do not boil.
Add cheese
Gradually stir in shredded cheddar until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Serve and garnish
Ladle into bowls, top with extra cheese or chopped parsley, and serve hot!
💡 Tips & Variations
Add bacon: For extra flavor, sprinkle crispy bacon bits on top.
Spicy version: Mix in a dash of cayenne or hot sauce.
Vegetable boost: Add corn, celery, or peas for more texture.
Lighter version: Use lean beef and low-fat milk or cheese.
