Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk or cream

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp fresh or dried thyme (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. This step builds the savory base of the soup.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot with the cooked beef. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent, releasing their sweet and savory aroma that enhances the overall flavor.
  3. Add Potatoes and Broth: Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, then stir them into the pot along with the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
  4. Stir in Cheese and Cream: Lower the heat, then gradually add shredded cheddar cheese and cream (or milk), stirring constantly until the cheese melts completely. This turns the soup into a silky, cheesy delight.
  5. Season and Adjust: Taste your soup and season with salt, black pepper, and optional herbs like thyme or parsley. Adjust thickness by adding more broth or cream to reach your preferred consistency.

Notes

  • Use sharp cheddar for a stronger, more complex flavor.
  • Don’t overcook potatoes to avoid mushy texture; keep them tender but firm.
  • Brown beef thoroughly to add deep flavor and prevent greasiness.
  • Add cheese slowly off the heat to keep it creamy and avoid curdling.
  • Simmer gently on low heat to keep the soup smooth and prevent dairy separation.
