Cheesy Hamburger Potato Soup: Comfort in a Bowl

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and softened.

Step 3: Cook Potatoes
Add the diced potatoes and beef broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 4: Thicken the Soup
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. Slowly pour the mixture into the soup, stirring continuously. Let the soup simmer for about 5 minutes, until it thickens slightly.

Step 5: Add Cheese & Cream
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, heavy cream, and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and well incorporated.

Step 6: Season & Serve
Add smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra cheese before serving.
