Shepherd’s Pie Soup recipe has all the elements on your favorite pie! It’s comes together so easy and is perfect for Winter nights. It will make you happy and give you the warm fuzzies all the way down to your toes!
I’m a lover of soup anytime of the year but when the snow starts flying, it’s seems like the right time to make a big old batch of soup!
TIPS AND VARIATIONS
- Brown the Meat. Make sure to completely brown the hamburger before removing it from the pan.
- Veggies: You can use fresh, frozen or even canned veggies. They will all work great in this recipe.
- Cheese: If you don’t love cheddar, then feel free to use what you have around the house. It will change the taste of the soup a bit but will be amazing!
- Meat choices: Instead of ground beef, you can use ground turkey or ground chicken. Heck, if you have a rotisserie chicken, shred that.
- Let’s go vegetarian: If you prefer a vegetarian version, replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth. You can also leave out the meat or replace with a plant base alternative.
- Slow cooker: You can make this in the slow cooker by browning the meat first and then adding all the ingredients. Cook for 8-10 hours on low or 4 to 6 on high.
STORAGE
This soup can be kept in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. You can also freeze it in an airtight container. Great for make ahead meals!
