Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 cups diced Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • 1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add olive oil and ground beef. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed and set aside.
  • 2. In the same pot, melt butter and add diced onion and carrots. Saute for 5 to 6 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  • 3. Return the ground beef to the pot. Add diced potatoes, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir everything together.
  • 4. Pour in beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • 5. Stir in corn and heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes to warm through and slightly thicken. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  • 6. Remove from heat. Stir in chopped parsley. Serve hot and garnish with extra herbs or shredded cheese if desired.

Notes

For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes with the back of a spoon before serving.
To make it lighter, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk.
Add more vegetables like peas or green beans for extra flavor and texture.
