There is something so special about a warm bowl of soup on a chilly evening. I created this recipe because I wanted the familiar comfort of shepherd’s pie without all the time spent in the kitchen. It has become a favorite in our house because it is filling and tastes just like the traditional casserole we all love.

You will find that this soup is perfect for busy weeknights when you need dinner on the table fast. It uses simple pantry ingredients, and since it is all made in one pot, cleaning up is a breeze. I hope this becomes a regular in your rotation for cold nights at home.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
4 cups beef broth
2 cups potatoes, diced
2 cups half and half
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, making sure to crumble it as you go.
2
Add the butter, diced onion, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 2 or 3 minutes until the onions are soft.
3
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly to remove the raw flour flavor.
4
Mix in the tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
5
Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking, then add the diced potatoes. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
6
Stir in the half and half, frozen vegetables, and shredded cheese. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the veggies are hot and the cheese has melted.
7
Season the soup with salt and pepper to your liking, then serve warm with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top.

💡 Tips

Serve this soup with a side of warm, crusty bread or dinner rolls to soak up the creamy broth. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days, as the flavors only get better after sitting overnight.
