Ingredients

Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 cups potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Finishing Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Crumbled bacon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbly. Drain excess fat, then transfer the beef to the Crockpot.
  2. Add vegetables and broth: Add diced potatoes, onions, chicken broth, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the Crockpot with the beef. Stir to combine.
  3. Slow cook the soup: Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors meld together.
  4. Finish with cream and cheese: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes to melt the cheese and incorporate the cream.
  5. Serve with garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon before serving for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with a sharper variety or mix of cheeses for different flavor profiles.
  • For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes before adding the cream and cheese.
  • This soup can be made in advance and reheated gently on the stovetop or slow cooker.
  • Bacon can be omitted or substituted with vegetarian bacon for dietary preferences.
  • Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed before serving.
