Ingredients
  

For the soup:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 4 large potatoes peeled and diced
  • 3 large carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 4 cup chicken or beef broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the soup base:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water for thickening optional

For garnish:

  • Fresh parsley chopped
  • Extra shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, cooking until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed.
  • Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and garlic is fragrant.
  • Transfer the beef mixture to your crockpot. Add potatoes, carrots, and celery, mixing to combine.
  • Pour in the broth. Sprinkle in thyme, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until potatoes and vegetables are tender.
  • About 15-20 minutes before serving, stir in heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and milk.
    For a thicker soup, mix cornstarch with water, then add to the crockpot, stirring until combined. Continue cooking on low until cheese melts and soup is creamy.
  • Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with parsley and extra cheese, and serve with crusty bread.
