Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once shimmering, add 1 diced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves, stirring frequently. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound of ground beef or turkey to the pot, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 2 diced carrots and 2 diced potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of beef or vegetable broth, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Add 1 teaspoon each of dried thyme and rosemary, along with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 20–25 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of frozen peas and 1 cup of milk. If desired, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and add to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Taste your Shepherd's Pie Soup and adjust the seasonings if needed. Serve hot, optionally garnished with shredded cheese or fresh herbs.
