Ingredients
Scale
For the Soup:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef or ground lamb
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For Garnish:
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef or lamb and cook until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
- Stir in the thyme, rosemary, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth and diced potatoes, and bring the soup to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Stir in the peas, heavy cream, and butter, and simmer for another 5 minutes until the soup is creamy and well blended.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- For extra richness, mash some of the cooked potatoes directly in the soup.
- You can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- Ground turkey or chicken also works well as a leaner option.
