Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
  • Optional: 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles, for topping

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot with the beef and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the beef broth. Add the diced potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. Pour this mixture into the simmering soup, stirring constantly until the soup begins to thicken.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and the cubed cream cheese. Stir gently until both cheeses are completely melted and the soup is smooth and creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cheese.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the soup hot, topped with extra shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped pickles, if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, simmer uncovered for an extra 5 minutes before adding the cheese mixture.
  • This recipe works well in a slow cooker; brown the beef and sauté the onion/garlic first, then combine all ingredients except the cheeses in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Stir in cheeses at the end until melted.
