Directions
Make the Croutons. Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, toss the brioche cubes with melted butter, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated. Spread the cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Meanwhile, in a large soup pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery to the pot with the ground beef. Continue cooking until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the milk or half-and-half and the shredded cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
Remove from heat and ladle soup into bowls, then top with croutons and enjoy.
