Hearty Beef Curry Dumpling Soup-Comfort Food

Steak and Potato Soup Ingredients: 1 pound beef (sirloin steak, chuck roast, or beef stew meat) 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 pounds russet potatoes, diced 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 3 cups chicken stock 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded 3/4 cup heavy cream Salt and black pepper, to taste Directions: Prepare all ingredients before starting. Dice the potatoes into small pieces, as they will break down while cooking. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add a little oil and sear the steak chunks on one or two sides for added flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pot. Once seared, move to the next step. Add the diced onion to the pot with a bit more oil if needed. Sauté until the onions become translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the diced potatoes, and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about one minute, then sprinkle in the flour, stirring to coat. Cook for another minute to eliminate any raw flour taste. Pour in the chicken stock, allowing it to come just below the top of the ingredients without fully submerging them. Bring the soup to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the soup from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
