Cheesy Beef and Potato Soup 🧀🥔🍲
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups peeled and diced potatoes
2 cups beef broth
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Add chopped onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3–4 minutes until the onion is soft.
Stir in the diced potatoes, beef broth, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth.
Slowly pour the milk mixture into the pot while stirring. Let it simmer for another 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens.
Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Serve hot, topped with green onions if desired.
