Method
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbly. Drain excess grease and transfer to the Crock Pot.
- Add chopped potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to the Crock Pot.
- Pour in beef broth, season with salt and pepper, stir gently. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- Whisk flour with milk and add to soup, followed by heavy cream and cheese. Cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, stirring until creamy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with optional toppings like shredded cheese, bacon, or chopped pickles.
Notes
Make-ahead tip: Brown the beef and chop veggies the night before. Soup keeps for 4 days in the fridge or can be frozen. Reheat with a splash of broth or milk.
