First, prep all of the ingredients before starting. Dice the potatoes, onions and mince the garlic.
In a large pot or dutch oven on medium high heat add a little oil then brown the ground beef. You do not have to remove the ground beef once it's browned. Toss the onions and garlic right on top of it and add a little oil as well to help.
Season everything with salt and black pepper. Then, add in the flour and mix the flour into ll the ingredients. This will cook the raw taste from the flour as well. You may need to add a little broth in the bottom because the flour will absorb all the liquid and you don't want it to start burning.
Next, add in the diced potatoes, thyme and basil then pour the broth on top. Bring to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer. The broth should come slightly under the top of the potatoes. Now, cover the soup and allow the potatoes to soften over 10-15 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
Once potatoes are soft remove the soup from the heat. The potatoes will have broken down into the soup as well, some pieces. Now, add in heavy cream and freshly grated cheddar cheese. Stir everything together then taste for seasoning.
Serve, use caution because soup will be hot.
