Best Step

Step One : Cook the Hamburger

Place a large pot on the stove over medium heat. Add the ground hamburger and cook until it turns brown and is fully cooked. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks. Once done, take the meat out of the pot and set it aside. Leave a little bit of the fat in the pot to add flavor later.

Step Two : Prepare the Base

Add butter to the pot. When the butter has melted, toss in the chopped onions. Cook them until they are soft and see-through.

Sprinkle the flour into the pot and stir it well for 1-2 minutes. This will make a thick paste called a roux, which helps the soup thicken.

Slowly pour in the chicken or beef broth while stirring constantly to make sure there are no lumps. Let this mixture simmer for a few minutes.

Step Three : Add the Potatoes and Meat

Drop the diced potatoes into the pot. Let them simmer in the broth for about 15 minutes, or until they are soft and tender.

Put the cooked hamburger back into the pot. Stir everything together so the flavors mix.

Step Four : Add the Cream and Cheese

Pour in the heavy cream and add the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir the soup until the cheese is completely melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.

Sprinkle in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Taste the soup and add more seasoning if needed.

Step Five :

Use a ladle to scoop the soup into bowls. Add toppings like fresh parsley, crumbled bacon, or extra cheese if you like.
