Method
 

Cooking the Beef
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
Sautéing Vegetables
  1. Add the onion and garlic to the pot, sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Simmering the Soup
  1. Stir in the potatoes, broth, corn, peas, carrots, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Finishing Touches
  1. Pour in the milk and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

For a creamier texture, mash a few potatoes in the pot before adding the milk. Serve with crusty bread for a delightful dip.
