Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or thinly sliced steak
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped green onions, crispy bacon bits, more shredded cheese
Instructions
- Start by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef or sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Remove the meat and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add diced potatoes and pour in beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Return cooked beef to the pot, stir to combine. Gradually add shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream, stirring until cheese melts and soup is creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with green onions or crispy bacon bits. Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use a blend of cheeses for richer flavor. Mozzarella combined with cheddar works well.
- Add a dash of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
- You can prepare this soup in a slow cooker for convenience.
