3 cups beef broth
1 cup milk or heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Ground Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.

2️⃣ Sauté Vegetables: Add butter, onions, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

3️⃣ Add Potatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

4️⃣ Make it Creamy: Pour in the milk or heavy cream, stirring well. If adding cheese, remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese gradually until melted.

5️⃣ Season and Serve: Add salt, pepper, and thyme to taste. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes, then serve warm!

Notes

For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes before serving.
Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce for a deeper flavor.
For a low-carb version, swap potatoes for cauliflower.
To freeze, avoid adding dairy until reheating.
