1-First, brown the 1 pound of lean ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat. Break it up as it cooks for about 8-10 minutes until it’s no longer pink, then drain most of the fat but keep those tasty bits in the pot. This step builds the flavor base that makes Creamy Hamburger Potato Soup so inviting.

2-Browning the Beef and Sautéing Veggies: Next, add 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter to the pot, along with the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté these for 5-7 minutes until they soften and smell wonderful. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and flour, cooking for another minute to thicken things up.

3- Pour in 4 cups of broth and stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the Worcestershire sauce, cream, diced potatoes, corn, and the cooked beef. Bring it to a boil, then simmer with the lid slightly open for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

4-Finishing and Serving Touches: Once everything is tender, season generously with salt and pepper to taste. For a smoother soup, you could blend part of it, but leaving it chunky works great too. If you’re exploring more soup ideas, check out this collection of easy soup recipes for inspiration.
