Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 3 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 3 cups chicken or beef broth
  • 2 cups whole milk or half-and-half
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Cook the Ground Beef:
  • In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  • Sauté the Vegetables:
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots, and sauté until tender, about 5–7 minutes.
  • Add Potatoes and Broth:
  • Stir in the potatoes and pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Make the Roux:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the pot to thicken the soup.
  • Add Cheese and Beef:
  • Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Add the cooked ground beef and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Simmer and Serve:
  • Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like sour cream or green onions.
