Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean or higher)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup Celery, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 cups Beef broth (low-sodium)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
• 1 cup Dill pickles, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and transfer the cooked beef to a bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and celery, and sauté for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese. Whisk the cream cheese into the soup until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 5

Add the cooked ground beef back into the pot, along with the shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped dill pickles. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Let it simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings if needed. If the soup is too thick, you can add a splash of beef broth to adjust the consistency.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
