Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef use lean ground beef for a healthier option
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced any variety works well
  • 1 onion, chopped yellow or white onion preferred
  • 3 cups beef broth or chicken broth for lighter flavor
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream can substitute with half-and-half

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
  3. Stir in diced potatoes and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  5. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and additional cheese if desired.

Notes

For a twist, replace ground beef with ground turkey or add garlic for extra flavor. The soup freezes well—just leave space in the container for expansion.
