Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil -divided
- 4 ounces lean ground beef
- ½ cup chopped onions
- 1 small carrot -chopped (about ½ cup chopped carrots)
- 1 celery rib -chopped
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 clove garlic -minced
- ½ tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 1 medium Yukon gold potato -peeled and diced (about ⅔ cup diced potatoes/3 oz)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 1.5 oz)
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a 2-quart saucepan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with the edge of a spatula, and cook for about 3 minutes, until browned. Drain and remove the beef from the pan, cover, and set aside to keep warm.
- In the same pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly for 1 minute to cook the flour.
- Pour in the broth, add the potatoes and the cooked ground beef. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender, stirring once or twice during cooking.
- Stir in the cream, cheese, and pepper. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, stirring frequently, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens to your liking.
- Taste the soup, add additional salt if needed. Pour the soup into a bowl, top with extra shredded cheese and chopped green onions if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
- Sauté the vegetables before adding the broth to bring out their natural flavors.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor; mild cheese can get lost in the soup.
- Cut the potato into small, even cubes to ensure they cook through quickly.
- For a thicker soup, simmer a bit longer or use a touch more flour.
