Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Optional toppings: cooked bacon bits, chopped chives, sour cream

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the beef broth. Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and celery. Stir in the thyme, black pepper, and salt.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, flour, and butter until smooth.
  6. Gradually stir the milk mixture into the simmering soup. Cook, stirring constantly, until the soup has thickened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Remove the soup from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese until melted and smooth.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can increase the amount of flour and butter used in the thickening slurry.
  • This soup is a great base for meal planning, offering a satisfying option similar to what you might find with meal delivery services.
  • You can substitute other vegetables like peas or corn if desired.
