Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 large yellow onion, finely diced (about 1½ cups)
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth (32 oz / 960 g)
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced (about 4 cups)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
1½ cups shredded mild cheddar cheese (about 169 g), plus extra for garnish
1 cup heavy whipping cream (238 g)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Cook the Beef and Onions
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add the ground beef and diced onions. Cook for 8–10 minutes, breaking up the beef as it browns, until the beef is fully cooked and the onions are softened. Drain excess grease.
Add the Garlic
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add Broth and Potatoes
Stir in the beef broth, diced potatoes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Simmer the Soup
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Add the Cheese
Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, adding a little at a time and stirring constantly to help it melt smoothly into the soup.
Add the Cream
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Let the soup heat through for 3–5 minutes.
Thicken the Soup
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly pour it into the soup while stirring continuously. Let the soup simmer for 2–3 minutes until it thickens.
Garnish and Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and extra shredded cheese before serving.
Notes
Yukon Gold potatoes work best because they stay creamy and tender.
Add cooked bacon bits for extra flavor.
If the soup becomes too thick, add a little extra beef broth to thin it.
For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
