Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 cups russet potatoes peeled and diced
- 2 medium carrots peeled and diced
- 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 green onions sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Stir in the diced carrots and potatoes. Pour in the chicken broth, then add salt, pepper, and paprika. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are fork tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. Slowly stir this mixture into the soup, then add the heavy cream. Simmer for 5 more minutes to thicken.
- Reduce heat to low and gently stir in the shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time, allowing each addition to melt before adding more.
- Stir in the ketchup and Dijon mustard. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot.
