  • 1 cup milk

  • Return the cooked ground beef to the pot.
  • Stir in the milk, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the soup just before serving. If you prefer a thicker consistency, mash some of the potatoes with a fork before adding the cheese. This dish is adaptable, allowing for the inclusion of other vegetables like carrots or celery if desired.
