Put a big soup pot or Dutch oven on medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook it completely, breaking it into small pieces as it browns. Make sure there’s no pink left! When it’s done, pour out any extra grease so your soup isn’t too oily. This step gives your soup a tasty base.

After removing the grease, add your chopped onions, carrots, and celery to the same pot. Cook them for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then so they don’t burn. The vegetables will soften and smell amazing. This mix adds great flavor to the soup.

Add your diced potatoes to the pot with beef or chicken broth, whichever you like best. Stir it all together and bring it to a gentle boil. Then lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it cook slowly for about 20 minutes. This will make the potatoes soft and blend the flavors nicely.

When the potatoes are soft, it's time to make your soup creamy. Add the milk and cream, and mix gently. Now, taste the soup and add salt, pepper, or your favorite spices if needed. If you want the soup to be thicker, mash some of the potatoes right in the pot.

Let the soup cook for another 5–10 minutes so it gets a little thicker. Once it’s ready, your Creamy Potato & Hamburger Soup is good to go. Scoop it into bowls, add some chopped parsley or cheese on top if you like, and enjoy every tasty bite.
