Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 cups potatoes diced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk (or heavy cream)
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (optional) shredded
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional for thickening)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
  • In the crockpot, add the diced potatoes, onion, carrots, and celery.
  • Add the cooked ground beef to the crockpot. Pour in the broth, then add garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Thicken the Soup (Optional) About 30 minutes before serving, whisk 2 tablespoons of flour into the milk or cream, then stir it into the crockpot. This will thicken the soup slightly.
  • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese or fresh parsley, if desired.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
