Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Potatoes and Broth

    Stir in the diced potato, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  4. 4

    Mix in Cheese and Milk

    Lower the heat and stir in the softened cream cheese until melted and well combined. Then, add the shredded cheddar cheese and milk, stirring until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with bacon bits and chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot.
