Ingredients

Ground Beef Mixture:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Soup Base:

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 3 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Seasonings:

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish:

  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Cook Ground Beef: Brown ground beef in a large pot, then drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In the same pot, sauté onion and garlic in butter until soft.
  3. Make Roux: Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add Broth and Potatoes: Gradually add beef broth, then add diced potatoes and simmer until tender.
  5. Season and Finish Soup: Return beef to pot, add seasonings, milk, cream, and cheddar cheese. Simmer until creamy.
  6. Serve: Garnish with green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Always use freshly shredded cheddar for smoother melting.
  • Russet potatoes for creamier texture, Yukon Gold for firmer.
  • To thicken, mash potatoes or add cornstarch slurry.
  • Keep heat low when adding milk/cream to prevent curdling.
  • Customize with jalapeños, cayenne, or hot sauce for heat.
  • Refrigerate for up to 4 days, freeze for 3 months.
