Directions
In a large soup pot heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic until aromatic.
Add ground beef to the onions and garlic, season with half of the seasoning mixture, and cook until brown.
Once ground beef is cooked, add potatoes, and frozen mixed vegetables, and season with the remainder of the seasoning mixture.
Once the potatoes are cooked to tender (but not mushy), add flour and stir to coat the meat and vegetables.
Next, add veggie or beef stock and bring to a boil.
Once the broth has been brought to a low boil, slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring quickly. Once heavy cream is fully incorporated, lower the temperature to low heat, add in shredded cheddar cheese, and stir frequently until the cheese has completely melted.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning of the broth if needed.
Enjoy! Can be served with crispy bacon, more shredded cheese, and chopped green onion or on its own.
