Ingredients
- 1 pound (454 g) ground beef
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in hot water, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cups (32 ounces / 960 g) beef broth
- 1 cup (238 g) heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (50 g) Parmesan cheese, freshly grated, plus more for serving
- 2 cups (60 g) fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through. Drain the excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot. Transfer the beef to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and diced onion to the same pot. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to soften.
- Stir in the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits.
- Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broth has thickened slightly.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy whipping cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook gently for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring until the cheese has melted. Do not let the soup boil.
- Stir in the spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just until wilted.
- Serve hot with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
