Instructions

Brown the ground beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the lean ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease to keep the soup from becoming oily.
Combine ingredients in slow cooker: Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker. Add the diced potatoes, chopped onion, shredded carrots, and beef broth into the slow cooker, distributing evenly.
Season the mixture: Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder over the ingredients. Stir gently to evenly combine all the flavors.
Slow cook the soup: Cover and cook on low setting for 6 to 8 hours or on high setting for 3 to 4 hours until the potatoes and carrots are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.
Add cheddar cheese: Before serving, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts completely, enriching the soup with creamy texture and cheesy flavor.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can brown the beef with a little diced onion before adding it to the slow cooker.
Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture or Russet potatoes for a fluffier bite.
Adjust seasonings according to your taste preference, adding more garlic or onion powder if desired.
Feel free to add other vegetables like celery or bell peppers for added texture and flavor.
If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes with a spoon or blend a portion before adding the cheese.
