Cheesy Hamburger Potato Soup

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups diced potatoes
4 cups beef broth
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)

Directions:
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.
Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Stir in the diced potatoes, beef broth, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
