Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Halal
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth Halal
  • 2 cups milk Whole or low-fat
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheese Cheddar or a cheese blend
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt More to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon paprika Optional, for extra flavor
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Or another cooking oil
  • 1 cup corn Fresh or frozen, optional for sweetness and texture
  • to taste fresh parsley, chopped For garnish

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, stirring frequently.
  2. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced potatoes and mix everything well with the meat.
  4. Slowly add the beef broth, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze it. Bring this mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the milk. Allow it to heat for a few minutes.
  7. Gradually add the shredded cheese, stirring continuously until it melts and the soup is creamy. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  8. If you’re adding corn, toss it in now and allow it to heat through.
  9. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired!

Notes

Substitutions: Ground turkey or chicken can be used as alternatives to the beef. Consider using reduced-fat cheese for a lighter version. For storage, this soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.
