A creamy potato soup with ground beef, vegetables, and plenty of sharp cheddar.

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp olive oil divided
  • 4 oz ground beef
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 small carrot chopped (about ½ cup)
  • 1 celery rib chopped
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • ½ Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • 1 medium Yukon Gold potato peeled and cubed (about ⅔ cup or 3 oz)
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 1½ oz)
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper

Directions

  • Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a 2-quart saucepan and brown the beef for about 3 minutes. Move it to a plate.
  • Add the other teaspoon of oil and cook the onion, carrot, celery, and salt for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, then slowly stir in the broth.
