Creamy Steak and Potato Soup

• servings: 8 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 pound beef (top round or chuck roast, cut into bite size pieces)

salt

pepper

1 cup onion (finely diced from 1 medium onion)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

4 cups beef stock

2 pounds potatoes (cut into 1-inch cubes)

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup all purpose flour

3 cups milk

1 cup heavy cream

8 ounces white cheddar cheese (shredded)

green onions (sliced, optional garnish)

Directions

Add the olive oil to a large pot or Dutch Oven over medium heat.

Season the steak with the salt and pepper, then add to the hot oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s done through, about 6-7 minutes.

Remove the steak with a slotted spoon and set it aside. Leave the extra juices in the pot.

Add the onions and garlic to the pot with the beef juices. Cook 2-3 minutes, or until softened.

Pour in the beef stock and carefully add in the potatoes. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are just fork tender.

Meanwhile, in a separate pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour until combined and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.

Whisk in the milk.

Once the potatoes are fork-tender, pour in the hot milk mixture and stir until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the steak back to the pot along with the heavy cream and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the white cheddar cheese until melted and well blended.

Taste and season as needed.

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with extra cheese and sliced green onions, if desired.
