In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and ground beef. Cook the beef until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot, then pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Return the browned ground beef to the pot. Stir in the tomato paste, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Add the chopped dill pickles and stir well.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the coconut milk and dairy-free cheddar cheese shreds until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve hot, garnished with extra dairy-free cheese shreds or fresh chopped herbs if desired.
