Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb. ground beef (90/10)
  • 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 lbs., peeled and cut in 1/2-inch cubes)
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced small)
  • 2 large carrots (diced small)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 pound Velveeta Cheese (16 oz., cut into chunks)

Optional Toppings

  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Sauté the beef and vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, diced onion, diced carrots, salt, pepper, and dried parsley. Cook until the beef is browned and onions become translucent. Drain any excess grease from the pot.
  2. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Coat with flour: Sprinkle the mixture evenly with 1/4 cup flour. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  4. Deglaze with broth: Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula to loosen any browned bits. This adds flavor to the soup base.
  5. Add potatoes, milk, and cheese: Stir in the peeled and cubed potatoes, 2 cups whole milk, and chunks of Velveeta cheese. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly.
  6. Simmer the soup: Lower the heat and let the soup simmer gently for 25-35 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender. Continue to stir occasionally to prevent scorching on the bottom.
  7. Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with optional shredded cheddar cheese and sliced green onions as desired.

Notes

  • Use 90/10 ground beef for a good balance of flavor and fat content.
  • Peeling and cutting potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes ensures even cooking.
  • Stir continuously when bringing the soup to a boil to prevent cheese from sticking or burning.
  • Simmer gently to avoid breaking down potatoes too much; you want tender but intact pieces.
  • Optional toppings add extra flavor and texture to the final dish.
