Cheesy Beef Ham and Potato Soup is a deliciously creamy and comforting dish made with ground beef, diced ham, tender potatoes, and melted cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sauté Onions: Add chopped onions to the beef and cook until they become translucent.
  3. Add Ham: Mix in diced ham and let it heat through for a couple of minutes.
  4. Incorporate Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes and stir for a minute to combine with the meats.
  5. Pour Broth: Pour in the beef broth, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring it to a simmer.
  6. Cook the Potatoes: Allow the soup to cook until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  7. Make the Roux: In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  8. Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and cook until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).
  9. Combine: Pour the roux mixture into the soup, stirring to combine and thicken.
  10. Cheesy Finish: Remove the soup from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and creamy.
  11. Adjust Seasonings: Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Notes

  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, warm gently on the stove, adding a splash of milk if necessary to loosen the consistency.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or celery for more flavor.
