Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 cups dairy-free cheddar cheese shreds
• 1 cup coconut milk, canned
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup dill pickles, chopped
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and ground beef. Cook the beef until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes to the pot, then pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 5

Return the browned ground beef to the pot. Stir in the tomato paste, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 6

Add the chopped dill pickles and stir well.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the coconut milk and dairy-free cheddar cheese shreds until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

Step 8

Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with extra dairy-free cheese shreds or fresh chopped herbs if desired.
