This Shepherd's Pie Soup takes the classic flavors of cottage pie and turns them into a rich and hearty soup. Ground beef, tender potatoes, and mixed vegetables simmer in a savory broth with herbs and a splash of cream for extra depth. It is simple, filling, and packed with comforting flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 large yellow onion diced
1 pound lean ground beef (I used 90/10)
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
4 cups low-sodium beef broth
2 medium russet potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 cups frozen mixed veggies
1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)

Instructions

Heat the avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
Stir in the garlic and tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and add the potatoes, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Stir well.
Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Lightly smash some of the potatoes in the pot if desired to thicken the soup.
Stir in the frozen mixed veggies and cook for a few more minutes until heated through.
Turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.

Notes

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The soup will thicken as it sits.
Freeze: Let the soup cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Keep in mind the potatoes may soften slightly after thawing.
Reheat: Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. You can add a splash of broth if it has thickened too much.
