Creamy Potato & Hamburger Soup Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Serves: 6

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups diced potatoes

4 cups beef broth

2 cups milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup frozen corn kernels

1/2 cup frozen peas

1/2 cup diced carrots

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and black pepper to taste

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions:

In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the cooked beef. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent.

Stir in the diced potatoes, beef broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Once the potatoes are tender, add the frozen corn, frozen peas, and diced carrots to the pot. Continue to simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are heated through and tender.

Pour in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the soup becomes creamy. You can add more milk if you desire a thinner consistency.

Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper as needed.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
