Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chicken or beef broth
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: bacon bits, green onions, or sour cream
Instructions
- In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In the same pot, melt the butter and sauté the onions and garlic until soft and fragrant.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually add the chicken or beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Add the diced potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in the milk, ground beef, and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook on low heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with optional toppings.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use sharp cheddar cheese or mix in a blend of cheeses.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for ground beef.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the cooked potatoes before adding the milk and cheese.
