Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef Browning the beef well enhances flavor.
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups diced potatoes Cut into even pieces for uniform cooking.
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded Add slowly to avoid clumping.
- 1 cup milk Whole milk recommended for creaminess.
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley Optional garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain the fat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.
- Add the diced potatoes and beef broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
Finishing
- Stir in the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and parsley. Cook until cheese is melted and soup is heated through.
- Serve hot and enjoy your ultimate comfort food!
Notes
For serving, top with extra shredded cheddar, chopped green onion, or a sprinkle of parsley. This soup pairs well with crusty bread or a side like cod, celery and potato stew for a seafood-and-soup spread. Cool the soup to room temperature before storing.
