Equipment
- 1 Large pot or Dutch oven
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Measuring cups
- 1 Measuring spoons
- 1 Potatoes peeler if needed
- 1 Ladle
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium potatoes, diced (about 4 cups)
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup milk Can substitute half-and-half for a creamier texture.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- optional green onions or parsley For garnish.
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and ground beef to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, salt, pepper, and paprika to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the milk and cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with green onions or parsley if desired.
Notes
For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
You can substitute half-and-half for the milk for an even creamier texture.
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for later use. Reheat gently on the stovetop when ready to serve.
