Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Servings: 6
  • Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 6 slices turkey bacon, chopped
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 loaf crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the chopped turkey bacon and cook until crispy. Remove and set aside with the beef.
  3. Add the diced onion to the pot and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle the flour over the potatoes and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  8. Return the cooked beef and bacon to the pot, stirring to combine.
  9. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  10. Add the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the soup is thick and creamy.
  11. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chives. Serve with a side of crusty bread.

Helpful Tips

For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes with a potato masher before adding the cheese. You can also swap the turkey bacon for regular bacon or omit it for a lighter version. If you prefer, use ground turkey instead of beef for a leaner option. This soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
