  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups milk or half-and-half
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  2. In the same pot, melt butter and sauté onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until softened.
  3. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.

  5. Add diced potatoes and cook until tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  6. Return cooked ground beef to the pot. Stir in milk or half-and-half and simmer gently (do not boil).
  7. For extra richness, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  8. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
