Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 4 medium russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream
  • to taste Salt & pepper

Method
 

Cooking the Beef
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until it is browned. Break it apart as it cooks. Once done, drain the excess fat.
Sautéing Onion and Garlic
  1. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become fragrant.
Adding Potatoes and Broth
  1. Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Finishing the Soup
  1. Lower the heat and add the shredded cheddar cheese and milk or cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring until the cheese melts and the soup becomes creamy.

Notes

For an extra kick, top with croutons or chopped green onions. To store leftovers, let it cool down and refrigerate in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave.
