Ingredients

Ground Beef Mixture:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Soup Base:

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 large carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Finishing Touches:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Extra shredded cheddar cheese (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess fat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Crockpot: Transfer the browned beef mixture to a crockpot. Add the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced celery.
  3. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken or beef broth. Add the dried thyme, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.
  5. Add Cream and Cheese: Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. If you prefer a thicker soup, add the cornstarch mixture and stir well. Continue to cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
  6. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and extra shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can customize this soup by adding in your favorite vegetables like peas, corn, or green beans.
  • For a twist, try using different types of cheese such as Gouda or Swiss.
  • This soup freezes well, so make a big batch for future quick and easy meals.
