Cheesy Hamburger Potato Soup

Directions:

1 Cook the Ground Beef:
In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.

2 Sauté the Onion and Garlic:
In the same pot, melt the butter and add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.

3 Cook the Potatoes:
Add the diced potatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, and beef broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

4 Make it Cheesy:
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and flour to create a slurry. Gradually stir it into the soup and cook for another 5 minutes to thicken. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream, mixing until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

5 Add the Ground Beef:
Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and stir everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

6 Serve and Enjoy:
Ladle the cheesy hamburger potato soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color. Serve with crusty bread for the ultimate comfort meal!
