It’s everything you love about a cheeseburger… minus the bun (though a warm roll on the side never hurts).
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups peeled and diced potatoes
- 2 cups chicken or beef broth
- 1 cup shredded carrots (optional, for sweetness and texture)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sour cream (for richness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped pickles, green onions, or crumbled bacon for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Brown the Beef:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, then add the onions and garlic. Sauté until fragrant and softened, about 3–4 minutes.
2. Add the Vegetables:
Stir in diced potatoes, carrots (if using), and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
3. Make the Roux:
In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a paste. Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until thickened. This will make your soup luxuriously creamy.
4. Combine and Melt:
Slowly stir the milk mixture into the soup. Add shredded cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Reduce heat to low.
5. Finish with Flavor:
Stir in sour cream, season with salt and pepper, and let the soup simmer gently for a few more minutes until everything is well combined and hot.
6. Serve:
Ladle into bowls and top with optional garnishes like chopped pickles, green onions, crumbled bacon, or extra cheese.
