In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, then drain excess grease.
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, approximately 1/2 inch in size.
Place the cooked ground beef, diced potatoes, diced onion, diced carrots, diced celery, and minced garlic into the crock pot.
Pour in the beef broth and stir in the salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry, and stir this into the soup.
Add the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese to the crock pot, stirring until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with chopped parsley.
