Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams ground beef, OR minced pork, OR ground chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken stock, make this from the powder
  • 4 cups potatoes, cubed, skin on or off is up to you
  • 2 cups Cheddar cheese, grated, count on two, 250 gram blocks if you like cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup carrot, chopped
  • 1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, optional
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled, optional, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Place ground beef, tomatoes, potatoes, carrot, bell pepper, onion, celery and garlic in your slow cooker and pour chicken stock over the top.
  • Season with chili powder, salt and pepper, then stir everything together. Cover slow cooker, turn on HIGH and cook for 3-4 hours, or until vegetables are softened.
  • Stir flour into heavy cream until no chunks remain, then pour mixture, along with cheddar cheese, into slow cooker.
  • Stir to combine, then cover and cook for another 20-30 minutes, then ladle into soup bowls, top with cheese and crumbled bacon, if using, and serve hot!

Notes

500 grams of beef would be about 100 Baht. Cheese will run about 180 Baht per 250 grams and you will need almost 2 for this. Total cost is about $1.70 per person for 8 servings, not bad really. Use minced pork or chicken and lower the cost a lot.
