Ingredients
for the soup:
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil for frying
- 6 lices Bacon
- 1 lb ground lean beef 450g
- 2 onion medium
- 2 celery stalks
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 1 teaspoon parsley dried
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 3/4 cups milk 480g
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth or good quality beef broth
- 1 lb potatoes 450g
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded, 150g
- 1 dill pickle medium or large
- 1 teaspoon pickle juice
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
garnish:

Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Dice the onion and bacon, cut celery into thin slices, finely chop the garlic. Cut the potatoes into 3/4-inch (2 cm) cubes. Cut the dill pickle into small cubes. Shred the cheese on the large holes of a box grater.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring, until browned and crispy. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
- Increase the heat to high. Add the beef in an even layer, don't stir for the first 1-2 minutes letting it brown, then cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes, until it's no longer pink. Break up any clumps of beef. Transfer it with a slotted spoon or spider strainer to a plate.
- Add another tablespoon of oil, onions, and celery. Cook for a couple of minutes until softened. Add the garlic, basil, and parsley, cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in flour and cook until incorporated.
- Add the beef back to the pot. Add the broth, milk, heavy cream, and potatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook over the lowest heat for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Make sure the soup is not boiling rapidly.
- Add the cheese in 3 additions, stirring after each portion added until it's melted.
- Add the chopped pickles and pickle juice, if using.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Garnish with cooked crumbled bacon and thinly sliced green onions.
- Enjoy!
Notes
