Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups diced potatoes
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
• 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)

Directions:

1. Cook the Beef:
   • In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles as it browns.
   • Once browned, drain any excess fat.
2. Add Onion and Garlic:
   • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef.
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions turn soft and translucent.
3. Add Potatoes and Broth:
   • Stir in the diced potatoes, beef broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low.
   • Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
4. Add Vegetables:
   • Once the potatoes are tender, add the frozen corn, peas, and diced carrots.
   • Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are fully heated and tender.
5. Add Milk and Cheese:
   • Pour in the milk and add the shredded cheddar cheese.
   • Stir until the cheese melts and the soup becomes creamy. If you’d like a thinner soup, add more milk.
6. Season and Serve:
   • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, as needed.
   • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
