Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for less fat.
  • Dice vegetables into small, even pieces.
  • This helps them cook at same time.
  • Don't boil after adding cheese.
  • High heat makes cheese grainy and separated.
  • Stir the soup often while cooking.
  • Fresh cheddar cheese melts better than pre-shredded.
  • Add toppings right before serving the soup.
  • Make extra and freeze for later meals.
