Ingredients

• Main Ingredients:
• 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
• 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups beef broth (or chicken broth)
• 2 cups milk (or heavy cream for extra creaminess)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional Add-ins:
• 1 cup frozen corn or peas
• 1 cup diced carrots
• Green onions or chives for garnish

Instructions

1. Brown the Beef:

• In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion and minced garlic until cooked through. Drain any excess fat.

1. Add Ingredients to Crockpot:

• In the crockpot, combine the browned beef, diced potatoes, beef broth, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

1. Cook:

• Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.

1. Make it Creamy:

• About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the milk and shredded cheese. If you want a thicker soup, you can use an immersion blender to blend some of the potatoes for a creamier texture.
