Notes

To store leftovers, let the soup cool completely. Place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw it overnight in the fridge and warm it on the stove or in the microwave. Use lean ground beef for less grease and add more veggies, like corn or peas, for extra nutrition. Check the potatoes for tenderness before adding the cream.
