03 - 1 large yellow onion, diced
04 - 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
05 - 65 grams all purpose flour

→ Liquids and Seasonings

06 - 950 millilitres chicken broth
07 - 480 millilitres heavy cream

→ Vegetables, Pasta and Cheese

13 - 100 grams matchstick cut carrots
14 - 150 grams uncooked macaroni noodles
15 - 340 grams shredded cheddar cheese
16 - 35 grams shredded parmesan cheese

# Instructions:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion. Break the beef apart and cook until thoroughly browned.
02 - Stir in chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add flour, mix well, and continue cooking for 3 minutes to eliminate a raw flour taste.
03 - Pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Add heavy cream and stir to combine.
04 - Add salt, black pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Stir thoroughly for even distribution.
05 - Bring the mixture to a boil. Add matchstick carrots and uncooked macaroni noodles. Stir and return to a boil.
06 - Cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.
07 - Remove lid and stir again. Add shredded cheddar and parmesan cheese, stirring until fully melted and soup is creamy. Serve immediately.

# Notes:

01 - For optimal texture, add cheese at the end off the heat to prevent curdling.
