Instructions

1. In a large pot over medium heat, fry chopped beef until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving rendered fat in the pot.
2. Add onion, celery, and garlic to the beef fat. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in potatoes, carrots, and corn. Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until veggies are tender.
4. In a small bowl, whisk flour into milk until smooth. Slowly whisk the mixture into the simmering soup. Cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Stir cooked beef back into the pot. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!

Notes

Use homemade broth for more depth. Adjust thickness to preference by modifying the milk-flour ratio. Veggie swaps like sweet potatoes or peas can be used. Add the milk mixture at the end to prevent curdling. For extra flavor, add smoked paprika or hot sauce.

Top Tips for Perfecting Amish Gma Soup

• Use homemade broth: If you have time, homemade chicken broth adds unbeatable depth.
• Adjust thickness: For a thinner soup, skip the flour-milk slurry; for extra creaminess, add more half-and-half.
• Veggie swaps: No carrots? Try sweet potatoes. No corn? Frozen peas work great.
• Avoid overcooking: Add milk mixture at the end to prevent curdling and simmer gently.
• Flavor boost: A pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce brings a modern edge.

Storing and Reheating Tips

• Refrigeration: Cool soup to room temperature, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
• Freezing: Pour cooled soup into freezer-safe bags or containers, leaving space for expansion. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheating: Thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, stirring often. If the soup has thickened too much, stir in a splash of broth or milk to restore creaminess.
