Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: diced pickles crumbled bacon, chopped green onions

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add onion and garlic; cook until softened.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and cook 1 minute, stirring.
  4. Gradually pour in broth while stirring. Add diced potatoes.
  5. Simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 12–15 minutes.
  6. Stir in butter, heavy cream, mustard, and cheddar until melted and smooth.
  7. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Ladle into bowls and add desired toppings.

Notes

Use low heat when adding the cheese and cream for the smoothest texture.
Soup thickens as it sits; loosen with broth when reheating.
Leftovers keep 3–4 days in the refrigerator.
Excellent with crusty bread or crackers.
