Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked through.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the diced potatoes and optional diced tomatoes to the pot. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until fully melted and the soup is smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Helpful Tips
Tip: For a thicker soup, you can add a bit more flour when making the roux. For a lighter version, substitute half the milk with more beef broth or water.
Variation: Feel free to stir in some cooked bacon bits for extra flavor or swap the ground beef for ground turkey for a leaner option.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or broth if needed to regain the creamy consistency.
Pairings
