Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef

3 cloves minced garlic
4 cups diced potatoes
4 cups beef broth
2 cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and black pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat.
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until onions turn translucent (2-3 minutes).
Stir in diced potatoes, beef broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Add frozen corn, peas, and diced carrots. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender and heated through.
Pour in milk and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until cheese melts and the soup turns creamy. Adjust consistency with more milk if desired.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
