Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 6
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup dill pickles, diced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnishes: extra shredded cheddar cheese, sliced dill pickles, fresh dill
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture, stirring to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring constantly to combine with the flour and beef mixture.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, dill pickles, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard powder. Continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the soup is heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra shredded cheddar cheese, sliced dill pickles, and fresh dill if desired.
Helpful Tips
- For a thicker soup, you can add an extra tablespoon of flour during step 3.
- If you prefer a milder pickle flavor, reduce the amount of diced pickles to ½ cup.
- For a lower-carb version, substitute the potatoes with cauliflower florets.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove over medium heat until warmed through.
