Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey (halal-friendly)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups beef or chicken bone broth
- 2 cups diced potatoes
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 tsp halal-certified Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 2 tbsp flour (for thickening)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well to coat.
- Pour in the bone broth and add potatoes, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 12–15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in peas, corn, and milk or cream. Simmer another 3–5 minutes until thick and creamy.

Notes
- Use beef or turkey, both work; halal-friendly option is noted.
- For a thicker soup, increase the flour slightly or simmer longer.
- To make this gluten-free, substitute the flour with a gluten-free thickener like cornstarch mixed with cold water.
- For lighter calories, use skim milk or half-and-half instead of cream.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3–4 days and reheat gently.
