Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely diced (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 4 cups (32 ounces / 960 g) beef broth
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced (about 4 cups diced potatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, to taste
  • 1 ½ cups (169.5 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 cup (238 g) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add ground beef and onions. Cook while breaking the beef apart until fully cooked and onions are softened (8-10 minutes). Drain excess grease.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the beef broth, diced potatoes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. After boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Gradually stir in shredded cheddar cheese, adding a little at a time. Allow it to melt fully into the soup while stirring continuously to prevent clumping.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and stir well to combine. Let the soup heat through for another 3-5 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water. Slowly pour in this slurry while continuously stirring the soup. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  7. Garnish with parsley and extra cheese before serving warm.
