3 cups chicken or beef broth

2 medium carrots, diced
-
2 celery ribs, diced
-
2 tsp dried parsley

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
-
2 cups whole milk

Instructions
-
Brown the ground beef in a skillet, then drain excess fat.
-
Add diced potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, broth, parsley, salt, pepper, and the cooked beef to the slow cooker.
-
Cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
-
In a small saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour, then slowly add milk to form a thickened base.

Stir the milk mixture into the slow cooker, then add cheddar and cream cheese. Mix until melted and creamy.
-
Serve hot with garnishes like bacon, extra cheese, or parsley.
Notes
Top with crumbled bacon, pickles, or green onions for extra flavor.
For a smoother soup, mash some of the potatoes before adding the cheese.
Freeze in portions but note that potatoes and dairy may change texture when thawed.
