Warm up with a hearty and creamy Hamburger Potato Soup! Packed with ground beef, potatoes, veggies, and cheese, it’s the ultimate comfort food.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb. ground beef (90/10)
  • 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 lbs.), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced small
  • 2 large carrots, diced small
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 pound Velveeta cheese, cut into chunks
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, sauté diced onion and carrots for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Stir in potatoes, salt, pepper, and parsley. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Whisk flour into milk in a separate bowl until smooth. Gradually add to the soup, stirring constantly, to thicken.
  5. Add Velveeta cheese and stir until completely melted. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with cheddar cheese or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if needed.
  • For a lighter version, use ground turkey and skim milk.
