My boys are definitely meat and potato kind of guys.
Yes, they’ll eat other things, but mostly they prefer not to.
So I try to indulge them with at least one or two meat and potato type meals per week.
And this creamy steak and potato soup is the perfect way to switch things up particularly when the weather turns cooler while still serving the classic combination they love so much.
It makes a rich, creamy soup in under an hour that’s the ultimate satisfying comfort food.
With it’s short ingredient list and easy prep, I don’t mind make it on repeat all winter long!
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Beef– Use stew beef. You could cut a steak or roast into cubes if you prefer but there’s no need to go through the extra trouble.
- Olive oil– To sear the beef in.
- Potatoes– Diced russet potatoes
- Onion– A large diced yellow onion
- Seasoning– Salt, pepper, dried thyme, garlic powder, and a bay leaf
- Beef broth– Don’t substitute for a different variety of broth. You want that extra beef flavor.
- Heavy cream– Again don’t substitute for a lower fat dairy product. The heavy cream will give this the thickest, creamiest, most velvety result.
- Beef gravy– Your favorite premade kind
How to Make
Serving up a hearty batch of creamy steak and potato soup is easy!
Just heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven, or other heavy bottomed soup pot, over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot and shimmery, sear the beef on all sides so each side is brown and caramelized.
Then, stir in the remaining ingredients.
Let the soup come to a boil.
As soon as it boils, turn down the heat so the soup just simmers.
Cover the soup and continue cooking it for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Remove the bay leaf.
Serve warm.
Enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat on the stovetop until warmed through.
Tips and Tricks
- Serve this with a loaf of fresh, crusty bread! The broth is so delicious you’ll want to mop up every last drop!
- No need to cook the beef all the way through when you are searing it. It will cook through as the soup simmers.
- Give the soup a taste before serving and add any other seasonings you enjoy.
