Cheesy Potato and Beef Soup
Ingredients:
1 lb (450g) ground beef
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken or beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Cook the Beef: In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Remove the beef and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, melt butter and sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Add Potatoes and Broth: Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
4. Make it Creamy: Stir in the cooked ground beef, heavy cream, and paprika. Simmer for 5 minutes. Gradually add the cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and extra cheddar cheese, if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread for a comforting meal.
