Ingredients
  

For the Soup Base
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Can switch to ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Cream Opt for heavy cream or dairy-free almond milk for variation.

For the Flavor Boost
  • 1 cup Onions Use yellow or white onions for optimal flavor.
  • 2 cups Bell Peppers Mix different colors like red, yellow, and green for variety.
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch Blend with water before adding for smooth consistency.
For the Smoky Crunch
  • 4 slices Bacon Turkey bacon can substitute for a leaner choice.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook diced bacon until crispy, stirring occasionally, about 6-8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, keeping drippings in the pot.
  2. Add diced onions and bell peppers to the bacon drippings, cooking until soft and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the ground beef, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Pour in the broth and cream, and add seasonings. Stir well, increase heat to bring soup to a simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry, then stir into the soup. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Lower heat to medium-low, add cheese, stirring until melted, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with reserved crispy bacon.
