Tips
- Cut potatoes into roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
- Use lean or extra lean beef to avoid greasy soup.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- Substitute shredded cheddar or a cheese blend for Velveeta.
- Add thyme or oregano for additional complexity.
- Use fresh diced vegetables as an alternative to frozen.
- Serve with crusty French bread, buttery biscuits, garlic toast, or a crisp side salad.
- If the soup is too thick, add more milk or broth to adjust consistency.
