How to Make Cheesy Hamburger Potato Soup
Here’s how to prepare this warm and delicious dish:
- Cook the Ground Beef
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and set the meat aside.
- TIP: Use lean ground beef to minimize grease and make cleanup easier.
- Sauté the Vegetables
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- TIP: Cooking the vegetables in the same pot enhances flavor by incorporating the browned bits from the beef.
- Add Potatoes and Broth
- Stir in the diced potatoes and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- TIP: Dice the potatoes into small pieces to ensure they cook evenly and quickly.
- Add Milk and Cheese
- Stir in the whole milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring until the cheese melts and the soup becomes smooth and creamy.
- TIP: For extra creaminess, add a splash of heavy cream or an additional handful of cheese.
