Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Drain the excess fat and set the beef aside.
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually add the chicken broth while stirring to avoid any lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook until they are tender, about 15 minutes.
Once the potatoes are tender, add the milk, cooked beef, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine.
Add the cheddar cheese gradually, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, ensuring it is well incorporated.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped cooked bacon and sliced green onions.
