Method
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add diced onion, celery, and carrots to the same pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add cubed potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika.
- Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Slowly add milk and heavy cream, stirring gently to incorporate. Heat through but do not boil.
- Reduce heat to low and gradually add shredded cheese in small handfuls, stirring constantly until completely melted and smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately while hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently over low heat, stirring frequently. Add splash of milk if soup becomes too thick.
