  • 1 medium 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 medium 2 carrots, diced
  • 3 cloves 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups 4 cups (1 liter) beef broth (halal)
  • 1 cup 1 cup (240ml) milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (halal)

  • 0.5 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it’s fully cooked. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the diced onion, carrots, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Stir in the cubed potatoes and pour in the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cover and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the milk, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Heat just until warmed through.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat. For extra creaminess, consider using heavy cream instead of milk. Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days or freeze individual portions for up to 3 months.
