Method
 

Preparation
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  1. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the veggies are tender.
  2. 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.
  3. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
Serving
  1. 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.
