Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced thinly
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 small yellow or white onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: bacon crumbles, chopped green onions, diced pickles

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. Prep your veggies: Peel and dice the potatoes, slice the carrots and celery, and finely chop the onion and garlic. Set them aside.
  3. Combine ingredients in the crockpot: Add the browned beef, diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to your crockpot. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine.
  4. Season and cook: Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste, then cover the crockpot with the lid. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Add the cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook for an additional 20-30 minutes on low, letting the cheese melt fully.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like bacon crumbles or chopped green onions.

Notes

[‘Grate your own cheddar for better melting and richer flavor.’, ‘Mash some potatoes to thicken the soup if desired.’, ‘Adjust salt and pepper after adding cream and cheese for perfect seasoning.’, ‘If the soup feels too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or milk to thin it out.’]
