Ingredients
– 1 pound lean ground beef for a rich, protein-packed base
– 1 tablespoon olive oil to sauté vegetables and add healthy fats
– 1 tablespoon butter for extra flavor and smoothness
– 1 medium onion, chopped small to build a savory foundation
– 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped small for natural sweetness and nutrients
– 2 sticks celery, chopped small to add crunch and depth
– 3 cloves garlic, minced for a bold, aromatic touch
– 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning to enhance the herbal notes
– 2 tablespoons flour to thicken the soup perfectly
– 4 cups chicken or beef broth as the flavorful liquid base
– 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce for a tangy kick
– 1 cup heavy or whipping cream to deliver that signature creamy texture

– 3/4 cup corn (frozen or fresh) to add sweetness and color
– Seasoning salt and pepper to taste to season generously and avoid blandness
Instructions
1-First, prepare all ingredients by dicing potatoes, chopping onions, and mincing garlic to streamline cooking.
2-Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté onions and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3-Add ground hamburger beef to the pot, breaking it apart and cooking until browned, approximately 6-8 minutes, then drain excess fat if needed.
4-Next, stir in diced potatoes and pour in beef broth, bringing the mixture to a boil before reducing heat to simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
5-Using an immersion blender, partially blend the soup to achieve a creamy consistency while keeping some chunks for texture.
6-Slowly add heavy cream, stirring continuously, and season with salt and pepper, letting it simmer for another 5-10 minutes to meld flavors.
7-Brown the 1 pound of lean ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks, for about 8-10 minutes.
8-Remove the cooked beef and drain most of the fat from the pot without wiping it clean.
9-Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter, 1 medium chopped onion, 2 medium peeled and chopped carrots, and 2 sticks chopped celery to the pot, then sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.
