There is something so special about a hot bowl of soup after a long day. This recipe turns the classic Shepherd’s Pie into a silky, hearty soup that feels like a big hug in a bowl.

My favorite thing about this dish is how much time you save. You get all that savory goodness of ground beef and tender vegetables without needing to bake a whole casserole. If you want a thicker soup, just mash a few of the potatoes right in the pot before serving.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups chicken or beef broth
2 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed small
1 cup carrots, sliced into rounds
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
Salt and black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until it is cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
2
Add the onion and garlic to the pot. Sauté for a few minutes until they are soft and fragrant.
3
Stir in the tomato paste and flour. Cook for one minute to remove the raw flour taste.
4
Pour in the broth while stirring constantly so no lumps form. Add the cubed potatoes and sliced carrots.
5
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then turn the heat down to low. Cover the pot and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
6
Stir in the frozen peas, dried thyme, and heavy cream. Let it heat through for another 5 minutes.
7
Taste your soup and add salt and pepper as needed before serving hot.

💡 Tips

This soup keeps beautifully in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. You can serve it with a side of crusty bread for dipping or sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top to make it extra cozy.
