Here’s a recipe for Cheesy Hamburger Potato Soup, a rich, creamy, and hearty meal perfect for any comfort food craving! 🥔🍔🧀✨
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups diced potatoes (about 2-3 medium potatoes)
4 cups chicken or beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional garnish: Chopped parsley, extra cheese, or crumbled bacon
Instructions:
1. Cook the Ground Beef:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics:
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Build the Base:
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken or beef broth, ensuring no lumps form.
