Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 large carrot, shredded
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon dry mustard powder
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set beef aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, shredded carrot, diced celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 3

Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 10–15 minutes, or until they are tender.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. Gradually stir this into the soup base, allowing it to thicken slightly as it simmers.

Step 5

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard powder. Mix well until the cheeses are fully melted and incorporated.

Step 6

Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 7

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal!
