Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Soup
    • 1 lb ground beef or lamb
    • 1 yellow onion, diced
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 large carrots, diced
    • 3 cups beef broth
    • 1 ½ cups potatoes, diced
    • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 cup half-and-half
    • 1 tsp dried thyme
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 cup frozen peas and corn mix
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • For the Mashed Potato Topping
    • 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
    • ¼ cup milk
    • 2 tbsp butter
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes
    • Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 10-12 minutes). Drain and mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Soup Base
    • In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
    • In the same pot, add onion, garlic, and carrots. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Simmer the Soup
    • Return the beef to the pot. Stir in beef broth, potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and season with salt and pepper.
    • Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Finish the Soup
    • Stir in half-and-half, peas, and corn. Allow it to cook for another 5 minutes.
    • Add the shredded cheese if using, stirring until melted.
  5. Serve
    • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a scoop of the prepared mashed potatoes. Garnish with extra cheese or fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
  • Make Ahead: For a smoother texture, consider blending the soup before adding the veggies.
  • Variations: Substitute beef with turkey or make it vegetarian by using vegetable broth and plant-based meat alternatives.
