Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 3 cups baby potatoes diced
  • 1 cup carrots diced
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon crumbled
  • 1/4 cup green onions chopped

Instructions
 

  • 1. Cook the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  • 2. Melt butter in the same pot and sauté onion, carrots, and celery for about 5 to 7 minutes until softened.
  • 3. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • 4. Add diced baby potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender.
  • 5. In a small saucepan melt butter and whisk in flour to form a roux. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • 6. Stir the roux into the soup to thicken the broth.
  • 7. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted.
  • 8. Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • 9. Serve hot topped with crumbled bacon, green onions, and additional cheese if desired.

Notes

Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for smoother melting and better flavor.
If freezing the soup, add the dairy only when reheating for best texture.
You can substitute Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes if baby potatoes are unavailable.
