There is nothing quite like a bowl of shepherd’s pie when the weather gets chilly. This soup version takes all those familiar, comforting flavors you love and turns them into a rich meal that is much easier to serve up on a busy weeknight.

My family loves this because it has all the goodness of the original dish but feels a bit lighter. If you want an extra crunch, try topping your bowl with a handful of baked potato skins or some homemade croutons.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat until it is cooked through, then drain off the excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook until they are soft and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce, mixing well to coat the beef.

  4. 4

    Pour in the beef broth and add the cubed potatoes. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

  5. 5

    Stir in the frozen peas and carrots and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Pour in the heavy cream and stir until the soup is warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

  7. 7

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. This soup tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld together. If the soup gets too thick in the fridge, just add a splash of beef broth when you reheat it.
