Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat to reduce greasiness, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Simmer with Potatoes and Broth: Add the diced potatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and paprika to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Add Cheese and Milk: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and milk into the simmering soup. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese has melted completely and the soup has a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Season and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as desired. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving for a burst of color and fresh flavor.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of milk or add a tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in cold water during the cheese melting step.
- You can substitute potatoes with macaroni pasta to stick closer to the classic cheeseburger soup style.
- Adjust the seasoning with more mustard or Worcestershire sauce for bolder flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
