Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey or lamb)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups mirepoix (or 1 cup diced carrots, 1 cup diced celery, & 1 cup diced yellow onion)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1–1/2 pounds baby gold potatoes (diced)
  • 1–1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 bay leaf (optional)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1–1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for serving)
  • Crusty buttered bread (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Add olive oil to a large pot over high heat. Once hot, add the beef along with salt and pepper. Let it sear for about 1 minute per side. Then crumble and cook until deeply browned. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon.
  2. Add the mirepoix to the pot. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until softened. Then add the potatoes, garlic, and seasonings. Stir constantly for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken stock and bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Then reduce to medium heat. Cover and simmer for 10–15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. In a separate pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Slowly add milk while whisking until smooth. Cook until thickened and gently bubbling. Stir in heavy cream before removing from heat.
  5. Pour the cream mixture into the soup along with cooked beef, peas, and corn. Stir well. Reduce heat to low and add Cheddar one handful at a time while stirring until smooth and creamy. Cook until nicely thickened while stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste your Shepherd's Pie Soup and adjust seasoning as needed before removing bay leaf. Serve warm topped with fresh herbs alongside toasted buttered bread.
