Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  2. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Stir in all-purpose flour, cooking for about 1 minute to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in beef broth and milk, ensuring no lumps remain, and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add elbow macaroni, stirring well, and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until al dente.
  6. Remove from heat, stir in shredded cheddar cheese until completely melted.
  7. Check consistency; add more broth or milk if too thick, and season with salt and pepper.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with optional toppings.
