Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp mustard powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: crispy bacon bits, diced pickles, sour cream, or chives
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef:
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat and set aside. - Sautu00e9 Vegetables:
In the same pot, add the diced onion, celery, and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. - Melt the Cream Cheese:
Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese, stirring until it melts and blends with the vegetables. - Add Broth and Seasonings:
Gradually pour in the broth, stirring to avoid lumps. Mix in smoked paprika, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. - Incorporate Beef and Dairy:
Return the browned beef to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring the cheese melts completely. - Simmer:
Allow the soup to simmer on low for 10-15 minutes to enhance the flavors and thicken slightly. - Serve and Garnish:
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with toppings of your choice. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Thickening Option: For a thicker soup, stir in 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum while simmering.
- Cheese Selection: Use high-quality sharp cheddar for the best flavor.
- Customization: Add cooked bacon, diced jalapeu00f1os, or even low-carb veggies like cauliflower for extra variety.
- Reheating: Warm leftovers gently over low heat to prevent curdling of the dairy.
