Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium potatoes, diced

Liquids and Dairy

  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Other Ingredients and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef and Vegetables: Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat. Add diced onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic, then sauté together until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  2. Add Potatoes, Broth, and Tomato Paste: Stir in the diced potatoes, beef broth, and tomato paste. Mix well and bring the soup to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
  3. Incorporate Dairy and Cheese: Reduce heat to low. Slowly stir in the milk and heavy cream. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until melted and the soup is thick and velvety.
  4. Season and Simmer: Season the soup with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and smoked paprika to taste. Let it gently simmer for a few more minutes to allow flavors to deepen and the soup to thicken slightly.

Notes

  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for bold, rich flavor.
  • Don’t skip the tomato paste; it adds a subtle tang reminiscent of classic burger sauce.
  • Add cheese slowly over low heat to prevent clumping and ensure smooth melting.
  • Allow the soup to rest slightly before serving to let flavors settle beautifully.
  • Use freshly ground black pepper for enhanced seasoning and a gentle bite.
