Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef (85-90%)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 4 cups beef broth

Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese until fully melted and incorporated. Add half of the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, extra Parmesan cheese, and a dollop of ricotta cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
