Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cups potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • optional: garlic powder, paprika

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • wooden spoon
  • ladle
  • knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat to keep the soup from being greasy.
  2. Add the chopped onion and diced potatoes to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the potatoes start to soften slightly.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Stir in the butter, milk, and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese melts and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adding optional spices like garlic powder or paprika for an extra kick if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle paprika or garlic powder before serving. You can also top it with extra shredded cheese, chives, or crispy bacon bits. This soup reheats well the next day — just add a splash of milk before warming.
