Ingredients Method Notes

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 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp mustard powder

Method
 

  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.

Notes

Do not boil the soup after adding cheese to avoid curdling. Use full-fat dairy for best texture. Add cooked bacon or hot sauce for variations.
