Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 3 cups potatoes, diced
  • 2 cups carrots, diced
  • 2 cups celery, diced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Dairy

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Optional Toppings

  • Diced tomatoes
  • Chopped green onions
  • Crispy bacon bits
  • Extra shredded cheese
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease, then transfer the cooked beef to your slow cooker.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and fragrant. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add the beef broth, diced potatoes, carrots, celery, diced tomatoes (with juices), Worcestershire sauce, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir everything together until well-mixed.
  4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Add cheese and cream: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and heavy cream. Continue cooking until the cheese has melted and the soup is creamy and smooth.
  6. Taste and season: Adjust seasoning as needed with more salt and pepper.
  7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, crispy bacon bits, extra shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use low-sodium beef broth to control the salt level in the soup.
  • For a thicker soup, reduce the broth by cooking with the lid off for the last 30 minutes.
  • Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • To keep it gluten-free, verify Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free or replace it with tamari sauce.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
