Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 cups potatoes, diced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh herbs (parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set it aside.
2. In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Add the diced bell peppers, mushrooms, and sweet corn to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Return the cooked beef to the pot. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot. Enjoy!

Helpful Tips

• If you’re short on time, use pre-diced frozen vegetables for convenience.
• For a lighter version, substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or milk.
• Feel free to add other vegetables you love, such as zucchini or carrots.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the soup in a pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Replace ground beef with ground turkey for a healthier option.
• Use vegetable broth to make the soup vegetarian.
• If you’re lactose intolerant, use a dairy-free cheese alternative and coconut milk.

Pairings

This hearty soup pairs wonderfully with a fresh garden salad and crusty garlic bread. For beverages, consider a glass of crisp white wine or a refreshing iced tea.
