If you’re looking for a high-volume soup that’s perfect for cutting, this is another creamy, high-protein, low-fat option that feels really comforting and satisfying.
It pairs perfectly with toasted bread, so I highly recommend enjoying it with a hot bowl of soup if you have some spare carbs. It’s also a great way to start your day as breakfast, with a decent amount of carbs to give you an energy boost!

Directions
- Preparation
- Prepare the vegetables
Cut the potatoes and onion into cubes. Divide the potatoes into two portions and cover each with plastic wrap. - Microwave the potatoes
Microwave each portion of potatoes for about 8 minutes, or until softened. - Cooking
- Cook the onion
Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and 5 g of salt, then sauté gently.
To prevent burning, add 300 ml of water while cooking and continue sautéing until the onion is soft and fragrant. - Blend the soup base
Add the cooked potatoes, milk, onion mixture, chicken broth, and cream cheese to a blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy. - Cook the beef
In the same pot, add the beef mince and season with about 5 g of salt. Cook until browned. - Combine and simmer
Pour the blended soup mixture into the pot with the beef. Add another 5 g of salt and 1.2 L of water.
Simmer over medium heat. - Adjust the consistency
Add up to 1 L of additional water to reach a thick but not overly thin consistency.
Simmer gently and adjust to your preferred texture. Add dried parsley. - Finish and serve
Divide into serving sizes and adjust the seasoning with extra chicken stock, salt, and pepper to taste.
Enjoy! 🍲
Notes
- Adjust seasoning with chicken stock or extra salt and pepper to taste. Thickness can be customized based on preference by adding more or less water.
- I added the cream cheese later in the soup, but it’s better to blend it together with the potato since it’s easier that way. If you have extra fat to play with, you can simply swap the light cream cheese for the original one, or use full-cream milk instead of light milk.
