Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 ½ cups chicken broth
4 medium (2-1/4" to 3" dia, raw)s potatoes, peeled and diced, or more to taste
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup shredded carrots
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
10 slices bacon
1 pound ground beef
3 tablespoons salted butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
2 tablespoons chopped green onions, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine chicken broth, potatoes, onion, carrots, basil, parsley, and garlic powder in a Dutch oven or large pot. Stir, cover, and cook over medium heat until potatoes are soft, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain grease from the skillet. Chop bacon and set aside.
  • Add ground beef to the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  • Add bacon and ground beef to the soft potatoes; mix well.
  • Melt butter in another skillet over medium-low heat. Add flour and whisk until brown, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk and season with salt and pepper. Add milk mixture to the soup, stirring well to combine everything. Add 1 3/4 cups Cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Ladle soup into bowls, top with remaining Cheddar and sprinkle with green onions.
