Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
3 large carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
4 cups chicken or beef broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Extra shredded cheddar cheese (for garnish)
Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef:
    In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess fat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Crockpot:
    Transfer the browned beef mixture to a crockpot. Add the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced celery.
  3. Add Broth and Seasonings:
    Pour in the chicken or beef broth. Add the dried thyme, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  4. Cook on Low:
    Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.
  5. Add Cream and Cheese:
    Stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk. If you prefer a thicker soup, add the cornstarch mixture and stir well. Continue to cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
  6. Serve:
    Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and extra shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
