Creamy Potato And Hamburger Soup
Creamy Potato & Hamburger Soup is a hearty one-pot meal made with ground beef, tender potatoes, and cheddar cheese in a rich, creamy broth—perfect for cozy nights.
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and diced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or substitute half-and-half for a lighter option
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese plus more for topping, if desired
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef, chopped onion, and garlic. Cook for 5–7 minutes until the beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain extra fat if needed.
Add the diced potatoes. Pour in beef broth and stir in Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil.
Once it’s boiling, lower the heat and cover the pot. Let it simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring now and then, until the potatoes are soft.
Turn the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese melts and the soup turns rich and creamy. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
Spoon the soup into bowls. Top with extra cheese and chopped parsley. Serve hot with bread or crackers on the side.
