Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 4

Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

Whisk in the heavy cream and softened cream cheese until fully incorporated and the soup is creamy.

Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
