Creamy Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups russet potatoes, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp dried basil (optional)
• 1 tsp dried thyme (optional)
• Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Brown the beef: In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease, then add it to the slow cooker.
2. Add the veggies: Add diced potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker.
3. Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the beef broth, milk, and heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs (basil and thyme, if using).
4. Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
5. Add cream cheese and cheese: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cubed cream cheese. Once melted, add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy.
6. Taste and adjust: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with crusty bread or crackers.

Enjoy your hearty, creamy soup! You can also add bacon crumbles or sautéed mushrooms to give it extra flavor.
