Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef (preferably lean)
  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp thyme (optional)
  • Shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
  • Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large Pot or Dutch Oven
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Colander

Method
 

  1. Cook the ground beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sauté the onions and garlic: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent.
  3. Add the potatoes and spices: Toss the chopped potatoes into the pot with the beef, onions, and garlic. Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Stir to combine everything well.
  4. Add the broth: Pour in the beef broth, bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Make the creamy base: While the soup simmers, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking it for about 1-2 minutes until it turns a light golden color. Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens.
  6. Combine the creamy mixture: Once the potatoes are soft, stir in the creamy milk mixture and cook for an additional 5 minutes. This will give the soup a rich and velvety texture.
  7. Final seasoning check: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or paprika if desired.
  8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and, if you like, top it with shredded cheese and chopped green onions for extra flavor.
