Cheesy Hamburger Potato Soup

In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until browned and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes).
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
2. Add the Potatoes and Broth:

Add the cubed potatoes to the pot, followed by the beef broth. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
3. Make It Creamy:

Once the potatoes are cooked, lower the heat and stir in the milk and heavy cream. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Add the Cheese:

Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, a little at a time, until the soup is smooth and the cheese is fully melted.
5. Season the Soup:

Season the soup with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
6. Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
