  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef and onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the beef broth, diced potatoes, diced carrots, diced celery, salt, black pepper, thyme, and paprika.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, flour, and butter until smooth.
  6. Gradually stir the cheese mixture into the simmering soup.
  7. Cook, stirring constantly, until the soup is thickened and heated through. Do not boil.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a smoother soup, you can blend a portion of the soup before adding the cheese mixture.
  • If you prefer a lighter soup, you can substitute cauliflower florets for the potatoes.
  • This soup can be made ahead and reheated.
  • Consider this a great alternative to meal planning services for a comforting weeknight dinner.
