🧂 Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced (Yukon Gold or Russet)

  • 3 cups chicken or beef broth

  • 1 ½ cups milk (or half-and-half for creamier texture)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 tablespoons flour (for thickening)

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • Salt & black pepper to taste

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

🌿 Optional Add-ins:

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Meat

  1. In a large soup pot, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned.

  2. Drain excess fat. Add diced onion and garlic; sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 2: Add the Base

  1. Stir in diced potatoes, carrots, celery (if using), and broth.

  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.

  2. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth and thickened.

  3. Add this creamy mixture to the soup pot and stir well.

Step 4: Add Cheese & Season

  1. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.

  2. Add paprika, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  3. Simmer for another 5 minutes until everything is thick and creamy.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Ladle into bowls and top with green onions, extra cheese, or crumbled bacon for the ultimate comfort bowl! 🥄

💡 Pro Tips

  • For thicker soup, mash a few potatoes directly in the pot before serving.

  • Substitute ground turkey or sausage for a flavor twist.

  • Add a splash of cream cheese for extra richness.

🧾 Storage

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • Reheat on the stove over low heat with a splash of milk or broth.

  • Avoid freezing (the potatoes can get grainy).
