Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add ground beef and cook until browned.
  3. Add onion and carrots, and sauté until they soften.
  4. Stir in diced potatoes and add beef broth.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  6. Stir in heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and heat through.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes after cooking and stir them back in. Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or corn for variation. Adjust seasoning to your taste; add spices like garlic powder or paprika for an extra kick. To store leftovers, cool the soup first, then transfer to an airtight container and place in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
