Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 pound ground beef
  2. 1 large onion, chopped
  3. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  5. 3 large carrots, sliced
  6. 2 celery stalks, sliced
  7. 4 cups chicken or beef broth
  8. 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  9. 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  10. 1 teaspoon paprika
  11. Salt and pepper to taste
  12. 1 cup heavy cream
  13. 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  14. 1 cup milk
  15. 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
  16. Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  17. Extra shredded cheddar cheese (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Brown the Ground Beef:
    In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess fat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

  • Prepare the Crockpot:
    Transfer the browned beef mixture to a crockpot. Add the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced celery.

  • Add Broth and Seasonings:
    Pour in the chicken or beef broth. Add the dried thyme, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

  • Cook on Low:
    Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.

  • Add Cream and Cheese:
    Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. If you prefer a thicker soup, add the cornstarch mixture and stir well. Continue to cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

  • Serve:
    Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and extra shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • If you’d like to make the soup spicier, you can add red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
  • For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or milk.
  • Feel free to add extra veggies like peas or corn for added flavor and texture.
