Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 cups beef or chicken broth
- 1 large potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: Shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking up any clumps as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until vegetables start to soften.
- Add Broth and Potatoes: Pour in broth, add diced potatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, and stir well.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Add Peas, Corn, and Cream: Stir in frozen peas, corn, and heavy cream or milk. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until peas and corn are heated.
- Serve: Adjust seasonings, ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and add shredded cheddar if desired.
Notes
- Substitute regular potatoes with sweet potatoes for a slight sweetness and added nutrients.
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut or almond milk instead of heavy cream.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
