Preparation
- In a large pot, over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until it’s browned and crumbly, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add 4 cups of beef broth to the pot to form the base for your creamy soup.
- Toss in the diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Allow the soup to reach a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and milk. Let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the soup is warm and creamy.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with croutons and green onions, if desired.
Notes
For a lighter option, you can use ground chicken or turkey instead of beef. For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef with lentils or a meaty vegetable blend. If you find leftovers, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, or freeze for about 3 months.
