🥗Healthier: lean cuts of beef

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground beef is typically cheaper and can still create a hearty soup.

Start by heating 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add 1 chopped white onion and 1 tablespoon of garlic to the skillet; sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Add the 3 pounds of stew beef to the skillet, seasoning with a quick dusting of black pepper (about 1 teaspoon) and sea salt (about ½ teaspoon).

Cook the beef for about 10 minutes until browned, but not fully cooked through.

Add 6 sliced Gold potatoes to the skillet, along with a very light dusting of black pepper and sea salt (about ¼ teaspoon).

Transfer the beef and potato mixture to a slow cooker and add 32 fluid ounces of beef stock.

Set the slow cooker to high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.

After about 3 hours, check the soup; the potatoes should be tender.

To thicken the soup, you can either take some out to mix with cornstarch or add 8 ounces of sour cream and 1 cup of heavy cream directly to the slow cooker.

Let the soup cook for an additional 50 minutes to thicken and combine flavors.
