Method
Preparation
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Be sure to drain any excess grease and transfer it to your slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and fragrant, then transfer this aromatic mix to the slow cooker.
- Add beef broth, diced potatoes, carrots, celery, diced tomatoes (with juices), Worcestershire sauce, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to your slow cooker. Stir everything together until well-mixed.
Cooking
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the veggies are tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and heavy cream. Continue cooking until the cheese has melted and the soup is creamy and smooth.
- Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Serving
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like diced tomatoes, chopped green onions, crispy bacon bits, extra shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Enjoy!

Notes
For added flavor, cook the beef with a pinch of salt and pepper while browning. You can use ground turkey instead of beef for a lighter option. To thicken your soup further, you can mash some of the potatoes after cooking.
