What You’ll Love

  • It tastes like comfort food, but it’s made with pantry basics. No fancy ingredients here. Just ground beef, cream-style corn, butter, and a few fridge staples that come together like they’ve been slow-cooking all day.
  • It’s a one-pot meal with flavor in every bite. From sautéed onions and red bell pepper to the beefy broth and melty cream cheese, it all simmers into something that feels nostalgic and new.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Add the butter to a large pan along with the onions. Cook until they are translucent. Then, add the red bell pepper and cook for a couple of minutes.

Next, add the ground beef and cook until brown. Drain the grease, add the cream cheese, and mix it in. Pour the cream corn in and mix.

Finally, pour the beef broth and milk into the pan, mix, and cook until hot.

Storage And Reheating

To store the soup, let it come to room temperature, transfer it to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to a week. To freeze, follow the same process, add the soup to freezer containers, and store in the freezer for up to three months.

To reheat from frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge, then warm the soup on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of milk or broth if the mixture is too thick. If refrigerated, add it to a pan on the stovetop and follow the same steps until hot.

    Hi Julie,
    your 32 degrees is our daytime high and our nights are in the low teens. we live on the bottom east side of Oregon near a town called Beatty. it’s not really a town because all we have is a post office and a mom and pop store. We have had days and weeks that are in negative 20’s.
    I make a soup similar to yours. mine just has more veggies. I’m gonna try yours and see how it tastes. I’m sure it will be good as you cook they way my mom and grandmas did. Down to earth good simple cooking.
    Thank you for all the delicious recipes.

    1. Hi Christine,

      Wow, that is COLD! I bet it’s beautiful up there!

      Let me know how you like the soup. We love it here. You can definitely add more veggies if you’d like to. I sometimes use Rotel instead of adding a bunch of things.

      Thank you so much for the sweet words!
