Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon mustard powder

Step by Step Instructions

1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Break it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Add butter, onion, and garlic to the pot. Stir and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion looks soft and smells sweet.
3. Pour in the chicken broth. Stir well and bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
4. Add cream cheese in small pieces. Stir slowly until it melts into the broth and looks smooth.
5. Pour in the heavy cream. Add salt, pepper, paprika, and mustard powder. Stir gently.
6. Add shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until fully melted. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes before serving.

Common Mistakes To Avoid

• Do not boil the soup after adding cheese. High heat can cause curdling.
• Do not add cold cream cheese all at once. Softening it first helps it melt smoothly.
• Do not skip seasoning. Ground beef needs salt to shine.
