Description
A warm and comforting Cheesy Hamburger Potato Soup that offers a delightful mix of flavors, perfect for chilly nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up as it cooks. Continue cooking until the beef is browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Pour in the milk and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow the soup to heat through without boiling.
- Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese to the pot, stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, garnished with more shredded cheese, crispy bacon bits, or sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, add Worcestershire sauce or smoked paprika. Can be made ahead of time; tastes better the next day.
