Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 piece onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Chopped parsley

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, over medium heat, heat a drizzle of oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  2. Add the ground beef to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking apart clumps with a wooden spoon.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and Italian seasoning. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until creamy and thickened.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a halal option. Avoid boiling the cream vigorously to maintain its texture. Cool and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on low heat, adding a splash of broth or cream if needed.
