Description
A hearty and comforting bowl of shepherd’s pie flavors in soup form, topped with creamy mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large pot over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add diced onions, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, approximately 5-7 minutes.

- Adjust seasoning to taste, and let the soup cool slightly before serving.
Notes
